In this paper,an orthogonal-directional forward diffusion Partial Differential Equation(PDE) image inpainting and denoising model which processes image based on variation problem is proposed.The novel model restores the damaged information and smoothes the noise in image si-multaneously.The model is morphological invariant which processes image based on the geometrical property.The regularization item of it diffuses along and cross the isophote,and then the known image information is transported into the target region through two orthogonal directions.The cross isophote diffusion part is the TV(Total Variation) equation and the along isophote diffusion part is the inviscid Helmholtz vorticity equation.The equivalence between the Helmholtz equation and the inpainting PDEs is proved.The model with the fidelity item which is used in the whole image domain denoises while preserving edges.So the novel model could inpaint and denoise simultaneously.Both theoretical analysis and experiments have verified the validity of the novel model proposed in this paper.
