Abstract: In this paper, we propose a new model of nonlinear and anisotropic reaction diffusion system applied to image restoration and to contrast enhancement. This model is based on a system of partial differential equations of type Fitzhugh-Nagumo. In the first, we give the comparison with the previous model, then, we show the robustness and the performance of our algorithm through a number of experimental results.

Keywords: reaction diffusion system; mathematical biology model; image restoration; Fitzhugh-Nagumo model; nonlinear anisotropic diffusion; contrast enhancement.
