Optimal Scale Selection for Circular Edge Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the issue of optimal scale selection for circular edge extraction in the context of higher dimensional multiscale edge extraction. Based on a classification of higher dimensional edges according to local curvature, we exemplarily establish a 2-D circular edge model. Through a careful mathematical derivation, we transform the circular edge model from Cartesian coordinates for which the analytical solution is unknown into polar coordinates. Utilizing this edge model we develop a novel theoretical framework for optimal scale selection for circular edge extraction through which the effects of curvature as related to scale can be analyzed. Moreover, we carry out a validation study in order to investigate on the level of principal performance how well the experimental results obtained from application of the developed framework to 2-D synthetic images match the theoretical results.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are inherently affected by a multiplicative noise-like phenomenon called speckle, which is indeed the nature of all coherent systems. Speckle decreases the performance of almost all the information extraction methods such as classification, segmentation, and change detection, therefore speckle must be suppressed. Despeckling can be applied by the multilooki...
متن کاملParticle Filter-based Fingertip Tracking with Circular Hough Transform Features
In this work, we present a fingertip tracking framework which allows observation of finger movements in task space. By applying a multi-scale edge extraction technique, an edge map is generated in which low contrast edges are preserved while noise is suppressed. Based on circular image features, determined from the map using Hough transform, the fingertips are accurately tracked by combining a ...
