Image filtering using morphological amoebas

This article presents the use of anisotropic dynamic structuring elements, or amoebas, in order to build content-aware noise reduction filters. The amoeba is the ball defined by a special geodesic distance computed for each pixel, and can be used as a kernel for many kinds of filters and morphological operators.
