Time-delay regularization of anisotropic diffusion and image processing

We study a time-delay regularization of the anisotropic diffusion model for image denoising of Perona and Malik [IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell 12 (1990) 629–639], which has been proposed by Nitzberg and Shiota [IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell 14 (1998) 826–835]. In the two-dimensional case, we show the convergence of a numerical approximation and the existence of a weak solution. Finally, we show some experiments on images
