Non-linearization of free Schrödinger equation and pseudo-morphological complex diffusion operators

ISBN: 978-145771303-3International audienceThe paper deals with a generalization of the complex diffusion in order to introduce pseudo-morphological complex filters which mimic dilation/erosion operators. The non-linearization paradigm is based on the counter-harmonic mean. The physical model underlying complex diffusion is the free Schrödinger equation and consequently the proposed operators can be interpreted as the asymptotic "pseudo-morphological" solution of this fundamental equation. Theoretical results are illustrated with some image filtering examples
