Nonlinear PDE-based models for photon-limited image restoration. (English) Zbl 07455322

Summary: An overview of the state of the art mathematical models for photon-limited image restoration is provided in this research article. The most important partial differential equation (PDE)-based Poisson denoising techniques are presented here. Thus, quantum noise filtering algorithms using Total Variation (TV) regularization – based models are described first. Then, some PDE variational filtering schemes for mixed Poisson – Gaussian noise removal are discussed. Our own contributions in this domain, representing a variational restoration approach and some non-variational anisotropic diffusion-based photon-limited image denoising solutions using nonlinear parabolic and hyperbolic PDE models, are also described in this paper and compared to the state of the art methods.
