Sinogram Restoration for Low-Dosed X-Ray Computed Tomography Using Fractional-Order Perona-Malik Diffusion

Existing integer-order Nonlinear Anisotropic Diffusion (NAD) used in noise suppressing will produce undesirable staircase effect or speckle effect. In this paper, we propose a new scheme, named Fractal-order Perona-Malik Diffusion (FPMD), which replaces the integer-order derivative of the Perona-Mal...
