Finite element analysis and application for a nonlinear diffusion model in image denoising

The stability analysis and error estimates are presented for a nonlinear diffusion model, which appears in image denoising and solved by a fully discrete time Galerkin method with kth (k ≥ 1) order conforming finite element spaces. Numerical experiments are provided with denoising several grayscale noisy images by our Galerkin method on bilinear finite elements. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
