Abstract. This work presents the implementation of linear and non-linear Partial Differential Equations - PDEs (heat equation, more specifically) for image processing tasks such as image smoothing with edge and non-edge preserving capabilities. It also shows how edge detection can be attained through geometrical invariants.
