Application of Image Denoising Method Based on Two-Way Coupling Diffusion Equation in Public Security Forensics by Yiqun Wang, Changpeng He, Zhenjiang Li

“…While the system realizes a series of functions such as the collection, transmission, storage, and application of video image evidence, it also realizes the application-side video image live broadcast function according to actual work needs and solves the large-scale case command and decision-making problem that has been plagued by public security organs. In order to remove the noise in the public security forensic images and to smooth the noise while retaining the details of the image, this paper proposes a denoising algorithm based on the two-way coupling diffusion equation. …”
