}Shock filters are based in the idea to apply locally either a dilation or an erosion process, depending on whether the pixel belongs to the influence zone of a maximum or a minimum. They create a sharp shock between two influence zones and produce piecewise constant segmentations. In this paper we design specific shock filters for the enhancement of coherent flow-like structures. They are based on the idea to combine shock filtering with the robust orientation estimation by means of the…
