Abstract :
A low-complexity anisotropic diffusion technique for smoothing textures preserving object contours is presented. Additional features such as disparity or motion can be used to control the evolution of the intensity diffusion. Drastic simplifications in the iterative diffusion process are also introduced to reduce the algorithmic complexity
