1. Generic image diffusion system
project by Alexander Shapiro

2. Project’s goal
Creating generic framework and graphical user interface for applying diffusion to images.
Allowing plug&play connection of different diffusion modules.

3. Framework

4. Plug&Play Modules

5. Diffusion modules
Any diffusion function (Matlab’s m-file) can be converted to module, if it accepts image matrix as input, takes no more then 5 additional parameters and produces the output matrix with the same size

6. Inside modules

7. Diffusion methods Currently we have 2 diffusion modules:
Gaussian diffusian
linear
do not preserve edges
Anisotropic diffusion
non-linear
preserve edges

8. Gaussian diffusion
Image with noise
Smoothed image

9. Anisotropic diffusion
Image with noise
Smoothed image

10. Comparison
Gaussian
Anisotropic
