Early effort and contribution are to find a generalized representation to link them by using adaptive filtering. In this paper a new further relationship between nonlinear diffusion and bilateral filtering is explored which pays more attention to numerical calculus. We give a fresh idea that bilateral filtering can be accelerated by multigrid (MG) scheme which likes the nonlinear diffusion, and show that a bilateral filtering process with large kernel size can be approximated by a nonlinear diffusion process based on full multigrid (FMG) scheme.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {7}, year = {2011}, pages = {881 - 886}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/15927}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/55}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 55, 2011}, }
