On Ridges and Valleys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ridges and valleys are earth’s relief structures. They can have an imaging counterpart provided we model a digital image as a landscape by considering grey level values as height. These two dual entities have received comparatively little attention from the computer vision community with regard to others like edges or corners. In this paper we first propose a taxonomy or classification of the several definitions of ridge and valley lines and review their implementation on discrete images. Then, we illustrate the application of one type of characterization, a creaseness measure, to solve several problems of image registration, where ridge and valley lines are taken as landmarks.

One of the important factors affecting on the erosion is lithological characteristics in the watershed. Due to the characteristics of the watershed can be considered reaction of rock to the process of weathering and erosion in the study. In the research of erosion and soil conservation investigate the lithological characteristics of the study area is very important. According to the study area ...
متن کاملBistability, Bifurcations, and Waddington's Epigenetic Landscape
Waddington's epigenetic landscape is probably the most famous and most powerful metaphor in developmental biology. Cells, represented by balls, roll downhill through a landscape of bifurcating valleys. Each new valley represents a possible cell fate and the ridges between the valleys maintain the cell fate once it has been chosen. Here I examine models of two important developmental processes -...

In this paper we propose a new junctions ridges and valleys detection method in images based on the difference of rotating Gaussian semi filters. The novelty of this approach resides in the mixing of ideas coming both from directional filters and DoG method. We obtain a new ridges/valleys junctions anisotropic DoG detector enabling very precise detection of ridge/valley junctions. Moreover, thi...

Terrain structure lines (valleys and ridges) are very important for geomorphological characterization, they construct the skeleton of terrain undation and variation, and they are scale-dependent because the ones are more important at a larger geographical scale than their counterparts at a smaller. Wavelet analysis is a new branch of mathematics burgeoning at the end of 80s. It has double meani...

In this paper we propose a new ridge/valley detection method in images based on the difference of rotating Gaussian semi filters. The novelty of this approach resides in the mixing of ideas coming both from directional filters and DoG method. We obtain a new ridge/valley anisotropic DoG detector enabling very precise detection of ridge/valley points. Moreover, this detector performs correctly a...
