Linear isotropic diffusion process for noisy image. a shows a noisy black ball test image with white background. The zero mean Gaussian Noise added such that SNR reduces to -3dB. b shows the spatial entropy-change graph resulting from diffusion process with respect to natural scale parameter for noisy image. Two peaks can be observed, where the first peak is much larger in amplitude than the second peak. The diffused image resulting from stopping the diffusion process at the location of the second peak in entropy change, is shown in c. Binarized image as a result of threshold, set to the mean value of the diffused image is resulted in (d)
