Our approach to three dimensional nonlinear noise reduction
filters, such as bilateral pre-filtering coupled with an
evolution driven anisotropic geometric diffusion PDE
(partial differential equation), have shown significant
results in enhancing the visualization of macromolecular
tomographic imaging. The PDE model is :
The efficacy of our method is based on a careful selection
of the anisotropic diffusion tensor based on
estimates of the normal and two principal curvatures and
curvature directions of a feature isosurface in three
dimensions.
