define useful diffusion tensors.By definition,j is a rank 1 matrix with spectral decomposition

the new matrix can only distinguish between angles and its smoothing should nicely relate the vertices to the corresponding edges.

Fig.2Fig.2

The local character of the angle smoothing via the structure tensor is obvious.

ANISOTROPIC DIFFUSION ANISOTROPIC DIFFUSION MODELMODEL

• Remark: we can also consider rotated and sheared rectangles, where we know the shear matrices

slightly modifying the diffusion tensor.We just define to be the angles of S

Fig.3Fig.3

we can estimate the shear parameters by the gradients of the two nonhorizontal edges of each sheared rectangle.

Adaptation to Sheared RectanglesAdaptation to Sheared Rectangles To process such images while preserving sharp vertices, we

want to incorporate an estimation of the shear parameters into the diffusion tensor

ANISOTROPIC ANISOTROPIC REGULARIZATION MODELREGULARIZATION MODEL

• we can use regularization methods to process images consisting of linearly transformed rectangles if we know the transformation matrix at each pixel

• Perona-Malik diffusivity leading to forward-backward diffusion. This PDE becomes well-posed by using the smoothed image in the diffusivity

DISCRETIZATION ISSUESDISCRETIZATION ISSUES

•1) Anisotropic Diffusion

•To discretize diffusion model we apply an explicit time discretization and discretize partial spatial derivatives by central differences, where we additionally use a smoothing filter

•2) Anisotropic Regularization

• To minimize numerically,we compute the minimizer of its discrete counterpart.

• In this paper, we prefer, due to the observed fast

convergence, to minimize the functional by SOCP.
