Mapping-Based Image Diffusion

The paper introduces a tensor‑based functional for targeted image enhancement and denoising, incorporating application‑dependent and contextual information through explicit regularization. It establishes existence of a minimizer and discusses tensor symmetry constraints, convexity, and geometric interpretation. The framework demonstrates strong performance in nonlinear scenarios like gamma correction and targeted value‑range filtering, achieving results comparable to state‑of‑the‑art PDE‑based methods.
