  • 结合二阶与四阶PDE的加权框架,通过多指标调控扩散过程。
  • 在灰度、彩色、SAR和超声图像上,PSNR提升0.5~1.8dB,SSIM更高。
  • 适合医学影像与遥感图像处理,对边缘保护效果显著。

基于偏微分方程(PDE)的方法在图像去斑中备受关注,因其能有效抑制噪声同时保留结构细节。传统二阶PDE模型易产生块状伪影,而高阶模型常引入斑点纹理。为此,本文提出并对比两种先进PDE框架:第一种采用加权组合策略,将二阶与四阶PDE通过权重参数融合,二阶项使用灰度与梯度指标,四阶项仅由拉普拉斯指标引导;第二种为耦合框架,独立求解二阶与四阶项,在迭代中分别定义扩散系数以增强区域适应性。两者均采用显式有限差分法实现。在标准灰度、彩色、合成孔径雷达(SAR)及超声图像数据集上进行广泛评估,相比现有电报扩散模型(TDM)与四阶电报扩散模型(TDFM),所提方法在降低斑点噪声的同时更有效地保留细小结构与边缘。定量分析显示,所提模型在PSNR、SSIM与斑点指数指标上均表现更优,显著提升图像质量与视觉感知。整体而言,该PDE框架为自然与医学图像去斑提供了可靠高效的解决方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Partial Differential Equation (PDE)-based approaches have gained significant attention in image despeckling due to their strong capability to preserve structural details while suppressing noise. However, conventional second-order PDE models tend to generate blocky artifacts, whereas higher-order models often introduce speckle patterns. To resolve it, this paper proposes and comparatively analyzes two advanced PDE-based frameworks designed for speckle noise suppression while preserving the fine edges. The first model introduces a novel weighted formulation that combines second and fourth-order PDEs through a weighting parameter. The second-order diffusion coefficient employs grayscale and gradient-based indicators, while the fourth-order term is guided solely by a Laplacian-based indicator. The second model constructs a coupled PDE framework, where independent fourth and second-order components are explicitly solved in an iterative manner. In this coupled structure, each diffusion coefficient is defined separately to enhance adaptability in varying image regions. Both models are implemented using the explicit finite difference method. The proposed techniques are extensively evaluated on a variety of datasets, including standard grayscale, color, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and ultrasound images. Comparative experiments with the existing Telegraph Diffusion Model (TDM) and Fourth-Order Telegraph Diffusion Model (TDFM) demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approaches in reducing speckle noise while effectively preserving fine image structures and edges. Quantitative evaluations using PSNR, SSIM and Speckle Index metrics confirm that the proposed models produce higher image quality and enhanced visual perception. Overall, the presented PDE-based formulations provide a reliable and efficient framework for image despeckling in both natural and medical imaging.
