Using this interpretation, we obtain an efficient implementation that only requires tracing flow-lines and re-sampling the image. We show that the approach is stable, allowing the use of arbitrarily large time steps without requiring a linear solve. Furthermore, we demonstrate the robustness of the approach by extending it to the processing of signals on meshes in 3D.I.3.5 [Computer Graphics]Computational Geometry and Object ModelingHierarchy and geometric transformationsI.4.3 [Image Processing and Computer Vision]EnhancementSharpening and deblurringUnconditionally Stable Shock Filters for Image and Geometry Processing10.1111/cgf.12708201-210
