Abstract
We formulate a general modified mean curvature based equation for image smoothing and enhancement. The key idea is to consider the image as a graph in some R/sup 72/, and apply a mean curvature type motion to the graph. We consider some special cases relevant to grey-scale and color images.Keywords
