Variational segmentation and nonlinear diffusion approaches have been very active research areas in the fields of image processing and computer vision during recent years. In the present paper, we review recent advances in the development of efficient numerical algorithms for these approaches. The performance of parallel implementations of these algorithms on general-purpose hardware is assessed....
