....changes in the illumination. Intensity edges (inmge locations where the intensity changes significantly) have been proposed as a more stable initial representation for stereo and motion. Different definitions of significant change in intensity lead to different algorithms for edge detection (see [34], 6] and [54] for reviews) Finding computationally efficient algorithms that capture those edges that correspond to what we intuitively perceive as edges proved to be a difficult problem. If edge detection is meant to provide a cartoon of the image, i.e. the set of edges that has a physical ....

....discontinuity and a roof edge is a first order discontinuity in intensity. An ideal step edge and a roof edge are shown in Figure 1.1. Ideal edges are edges in an image with no noise. In practice, images produced by scanners and other imaging devices are contaminated by various kinds of noise [9]. More specifically, due to the effects of the optical system, the observed intensity image is f G, where f represents the intensity surface of the underlying scene, G, the point spread function of the optical system, and , the convolution operator. An edge in f G corresponds to a discontinuity ....

....medical images, and clip art images consist of objects in a wide variety of shapes as shown in Figure 4. Prior to extracting the shape feature of an image object, one must first obtain its contour. Much research has been directed to detect the boundary (i.e. obtain the contour) of an image object [4, 17, 13, 7, 5, 31]. Boundaries are connected edges that capture the characteristics of the shape object. Boundaries are essential in shape feature computation and analysis. Conceptually, a shape boundary can be obtained by tracing edge points that are significant local change points, typically occurs on the ....

....a brief discussion, and a number of suggestions for future work. 5 Chapter 2 Related Work In this chapter, I review the feature detection literature. In particular, I concentrate on work performed since 1975. Much of the earlier work is covered by existing surveys such as those by Davis [26] and Brady [16] The best sources of information about developments since 1975 are modern texts such as Pratt [100] Nalwa [79] and Faugeras [35] I classify feature detectors into four major types: 1) model matching detectors, 2) di#erential invariant detectors, 3) optimal filtering ....

....is the basic image analysis operator [34] Very early in image processing, authors noticed that to find a single and the right threshold in an image was enough to deliver a binary image with most of the relevant shape information. Theories of the optimal threshold were even developed [69]. In order to have a more local description of the basic objects of an image, several authors ( 12, 60] proposed to consider the connected components of (upper or lower) level sets as the basic objects of the image. They argue that contrast changes are local and depend upon the reflectance ....

....surrounding curves, and the curves surrounding their holes as well. Now, the ways such regions and curves are extracted are rather diverse and uncertain. Indeed, this extraction is often based on edge detection theory , a wide galaxy of heuristic algorithms finding boundaries in an image. See [14] for a survey of these techniques and also the book [51] for an attempt of mathematical classification. We shall see, however, that in most practical cases shapes can and should be extracted as connected components of level sets of the image, and Jordan curves as their boundaries. Why scalar ....

....detectors, can not distinguish the textural edges from the structural edges. The problems of fragmented contours and false positives and negatives can be reduced if thresholding is used to detect the heart wall. A variety of thresholding techniques have been developed to process optical images [28, 29, 30, 31]. Since thresholding generates regions rather than the boundaries, the contours obtained by tracing the borders of the thresholded regions are less fragmented than the contours detected using edge operators.

.... from 2DE can be viewed either as an edge detection problem, where heart wall contours are to be extracted [23] or as a thresholding problem, where the wall region is to be separated from the background [24, 25] Edge detection is a popular contour extraction method in optical images processing [26, 27]. To detect the object contours, a typical edge detection algorithm goes through the following two steps. 1) Enhancing the image regions with high gray level gradients. 2) Extracting the contours either by detecting locally characterizable (usually maxima or zero crossing) points, or by ....

....computational complexity and the mathematical models used to derive them. Contextual detectors are by far the most rarely used and designed. Their goal is different, as is the knowledge used to extract edges. These detectors are not presented in this paper; however, the reader can find a survey in [17, 68]. Similarly, edge detection approaches based on snakes, statistical tools and neural networks are not presented here. Our goal is not to give an exhaustive inventory of edge detection algorithms. We limit ourselves to edge detection algorithms that fit the detector properties given in previous ....

....here. Our goal is not to give an exhaustive inventory of edge detection algorithms. We limit ourselves to edge detection algorithms that fit the detector properties given in previous sections and that have influenced our work over the recent years. Other surveys on edge detection may be found in [17, 114, 123, 75]. In the next sections, we will present informal detectors for step edges or early detectors, optimal step edge detectors, detectors of line edges and junctions, the use of phase information to extract both step edges and line edges, and the implementation of edge detectors. 5.1 Detection of Step ....

....component of most machine vision systems. Although significant effort has been directed towards developing edge detection operators, there is still considerable room for improvement in the existing operators. The most widely used approach to edge detection is the gradient based approach (see [3, 1, 2, 7], among many others) Although this approach performs well in most circumstances, there are well known problems, particularly, in regions of high curvature or where multiple edges intersect. A completely new approach to edge detection is introduced here which performs at least as well as other ....

Methods which divide up pixels based on their numerical values are called thresholding methods and were surveyed in [18].
