Summary:
This paper concerns with the finite volume scheme for nonlinear tensor diffusion in image processing. First we provide some basic information on this type of diffusion including a construction of its diffusion tensor. Then we derive a semi-implicit scheme with the help of so-called diamond-cell method (see [Coirier1] and [Coirier2]). Further, we prove existence and uniqueness of a discrete solution given by our scheme. The proof is based on a gradient bound in the tangential direction by a gradient in normal direction. Moreover, the proofs of $L^2(\Omega )$ – a priori estimates for our discrete solution are given. Finally we present our computational results.
