Abstract

This paper examines solutions to the Laplace equation using analytical techniques, including separation of variables and the Poisson integral formula, and probabilistic methods, such as Brownian motion. We address applications to imaging, including noise reduction, data interpolation, and resolution enhancement, as well as discuss theoretical connections between the Laplace equation, specifically concepts such as harmonic functions, the mean value property, and the maximum principle, to provide a mathematical framework for practical implementation in imaging workflows.
