Gaussian filter Lena picture with Gaussian noise.
Experiment for Gaussian Filter After three steps, it becomes better. After more steps, it becomes blur.
Q-flow for denoise Left side: Affine flow; Right side: Q-flow. More picture and comparison can be found at http://www.math.ou.edu/~yni/flow.html
Active Contour The main goal here is to find the boundary of interesting area:
Discussion
Discussion Psychological questions: illusions. Experiments.
Other applications Can the flow be used to reduce illusions?
