Edge Orientation Using Contour Stencils
نویسنده
چکیده
Many image processing applications require estimating the orientation of the image edges. This estimation is often done with a finite difference approximation of the orthogonal gradient. As an alternative, we apply contour stencils, a method for detecting contours from total variation along curves, and show it more robustly estimates the edge orientations than several finite difference approximations. Contour stencils are demonstrated in image enhancement and zooming applications.

Image Interpolation with Contour Stencils
Image interpolation is the problem of increasing the resolution of an image. Linear methods must compromise between artifacts like jagged edges, blurring, and overshoot (halo) artifacts. More recent works consider nonlinear methods to improve interpolation of edges and textures. In this paper we apply contour stencils for estimating the image contours based on total variation along curves and t...
متن کاملImage Interpolation with Geometric Contour Stencils
We consider the image interpolation problem where, given an image v with uniformly-sampled pixels vm,n and point spread function h, the goal is to find a function u(x, y) satisfying vm,n = (h ∗ u)(m,n) for all m,n ∈ Z (1) so that u approximates the underlying function from which v was sampled. This article improves upon the IPOL article “Image Interpolation with Contour Stencils” [7]. In the pr...
متن کاملA Unified Cloth Untangling Framework Through Discrete Collision Detection
We present an efficient and stable framework, called Unified Intersection Resolver (UIR), for cloth simulation systems where not only impending collisions but also pre-existing penetrations often arise. These two types of collisions are handled in a unified manner, by detecting edge-face intersections first and then forming penetration stencils to be resolved iteratively. A stencil is a quadrup...
متن کاملImage Demosaicking with Contour Stencils
Demosaicking (or demosaicing) is the problem of interpolating full color information on an image where only one color component is known at each pixel. Most demosaicking methods involve some kind of estimation of the underlying image structure, for example, choosing adaptively between interpolating in the horizontal or vertical direction. This article discusses the implementation details of the...
متن کاملImage interpolation based on a multi-resolution directional map
This paper describes an interpolation method that takes into account the edge orientation in order to avoid typical interpolation artifacts (jagging, staircase effects...). It is first based on an edge orientation estimation, performed in the wavelet domain. The estimation uses the multi-resolution features of wavelets to give an accurate and non-biased description of the frequency characterist...
