With linear low pass filtering and isotropic diffusion we let the pixel
values to be mixed with across the edges, so the images become
blurred. So, it becomes inconvenient to detect the edges. So, the
concept of anisotropic diffusion comes. The main concept of this is
IT JUST ALLOWS THE PIXELS TO BE MIXED IN THE SAME
SIDE OF BOUNDARY. It is based on the logic of calculus of
variation which finds extreme values of integrals of a function.
Formally, let
denote a subset of the plane and
be a family of gray scale images, then anisotropic diffusion is
defined as

MUMFORD-SHAH IMAGE
SEGMENTATION
Segmentation is levelling the images ,one way is to paint it with grey
values. Mumford-shah implements it.
While detecting an edge there maybe two types of penalty.
Penalty for edges
Penalty for errors
THE BASIC CONCEPT OF MUMFORD SHAH Is to write basic
formulation to compromise between a representation image
which is too far from the original image to a simplified image
which is not too far from the original image. There should not
also many segmentation.
This concept is also used in image registration.
algorithms for solving the general Mumford
Shah model tend to be relatively complicated and computationally
expensive. As a simplification,
Mumford and Shah also considered a piecewise constant
formulation which is used in Chan vese segmentation.

ACTIVE CONTOURS
The process of labelling the location in the image where the rate of
change is high is known as edge detection. From the gradient of the
image we get the info where there is major change in intensity in the
image. So, the gradient gives the local information. The goal of
active contour is to integrate those local measurement. Edge
integration is the process of combining local, perhaps sparse and non
contigious edges into meaningful long edge curve for segmentation.
There is relationship between local edge and active contours going to
compute it .
PROCESS:
It is a new model for active contours to detect objects in a given
image, based on techniques of curve evolution, Mumford-Shah
functional for segmentation and level sets. This model can detect
objects whose boundaries are not necessarily defined by gradient.
The model is a combination between more classical active contour
models using mean curvature motion techniques, and the MumfordShah model for segmentation.
