Unsharp masking ($g+\lambda (g-G_t\ast g)$)

Subtract a smoothed image signal and add a scaled residual: $u=g+\lambda (g-G_t\ast g)$. The Fourier multiplier $1+\lambda (1-e^{-t|\xi {|}^2})$ is bounded by $1+\lambda$. This enhances apparent contrast but also amplifies noise; it is not a stable exact inverse of heat image smoothing.
