Abstract
A modification of the Perona-Malik equation is proposed for which the local nonlinear diffusion term is replaced by a nonlocal term of slightly reduced ``strength''. The new equation is globally well-posed (in spaces of classical regularity) and possesses desirable properties from the perspective of image processing. It admits characteristic functions as (formally linearly ``stable'') stationary solutions and can therefore be reliably employed for denoising keeping blurring in check. Its numerical implementation is stable, enhances some of the features of Perona-Malik, and avoids problems known to affect the latter.
