% ANISODIFF - Anisotropic diffusion.
%
% Usage:
%  diff = anisodiff(im, niter, kappa, lambda, option)
%
% Arguments:
%         im     - input image
%         niter  - number of iterations.
%         kappa  - conduction coefficient 20-100 ?
%         lambda - max value of .25 for stability
%         option - 1 Perona Malik diffusion equation No 1
%                  2 Perona Malik diffusion equation No 2
%
% Returns:
%         diff   - diffused image.
%
% kappa controls conduction as a function of gradient.  If kappa is low
% small intensity gradients are able to block conduction and hence diffusion
% across step edges.  A large value reduces the influence of intensity
% gradients on conduction.
%
% lambda controls speed of diffusion (you usually want it at a maximum of
% 0.25)
%
% Diffusion equation 1 favours high contrast edges over low contrast ones.
% Diffusion equation 2 favours wide regions over smaller ones.
