Edge Preserving Orientation Adaptive Filtering

Abstract

In this paper we describe a new stragegy for combining orientation adaptive filtering and edge preserving filtering. The filter adapts to the local orientation and avoids filtering across borders. The local orientation for steering the filter will be estimated in a fixed sized window which never contains two orientation fields. This can be achieved using generalized Kuwahara filtering. This filter selects from a set of fixed sized windows that contain the current pixel, the orientation of the window with the highest anisotropy. We compare out filter strategy with a multi-scale approach. We found that our filter strategy has a lower complexity and yields a constant improvement of the SNR.
