Abstract

The major goal of this survey is to provide the reader with the motivation of image filtering and segmentation in diagnostic imaging, with the brief overview of the state-of- the-art of nonlinear filters based on the geometry-driven diffusion (GDD), and with a possible generalization of the GDD-filtering towards the complex problem of image segmentation, stated as minimization of particular energy functionals. An example of the application of the GDD- filtering to the task of 3D visualization of MRI data of the brain is illustrated and discussed in the paper.
