Nonextensive information-theoretic measure for image edge detection

نویسنده

A. Ben Hamza

چکیده

We propose a nonextensive information-theoretic measure called Jensen-Tsallis divergence, which may be defined between any arbitrary number of probability distributions, and we analyze its main theoretical properties. Using the theory of majorization, we also derive its upper bounds performance. To gain further insight into the robustness and the application of the Jensen-Tsallis divergence measure in imaging, we provide some numerical experiments to show the power of this entopic measure in image edge detection. © 2006 SPIE and IS&T.

On Measure-Theoretic aspects of Nonextensive Entropy Functionals and corresponding Maximum Entropy Prescriptions

Shannon entropy of a probability measure P , defined as − ∫ X dP dμ ln dP dμ dμ on a measure space (X,M, μ), is not a natural extension from the discrete case. However, maximum entropy (ME) prescriptions of Shannon entropy functional in the measure-theoretic case are consistent with those for the discrete case. Also it is well known that Kullback-Leibler relative entropy can be extended natural...

Quad-pixel edge detection using neural network

One of the most fundamental features of digital image and the basic steps in image processing, analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision is the edge of an image where the preciseness and reliability of its results will affect directly on the comprehension machine system made objective world. Several edge detectors have been developed in the past decades, although no single edge detector...

Edge Detection with Hessian Matrix Property Based on Wavelet Transform

In this paper, we present an edge detection method based on wavelet transform and Hessian matrix of image at each pixel. Many methods which based on wavelet transform, use wavelet transform to approximate the gradient of image and detect edges by searching the modulus maximum of gradient vectors. In our scheme, we use wavelet transform to approximate Hessian matrix of image at each pixel, too. ...

Noisy images edge detection: Ant colony optimization algorithm

The edges of an image define the image boundary. When the image is noisy, it does not become easy to identify the edges. Therefore, a method requests to be developed that can identify edges clearly in a noisy image. Many methods have been proposed earlier using filters, transforms and wavelets with Ant colony optimization (ACO) that detect edges. We here used ACO for edge detection of noisy ima...
