In this article, the authors consider equation ut = div(ψ(Гu)A(|Du|2)Du) -(u- I), where ψ is strictly positive and Г is a known vector-valued mapping, A: R+ → R+is decreasing and A(s) ～ 1/√a as s → +∞. This kind of equation arises naturally from image denoising. For an initial datum I ∈ BVloc ∩ L∞, the existence of BV solutions to the initial value problem of the equation is obtained.
