چکیده

This paper aims at studying the characterization of Diracstructure edges with a novel wavelet transform, and selecting the suitable wavelet functions to detect them. Three significant characteristics of the local maximum modulus of the wavelet transform with respect to the Dirac-structure edges are presented. By utilizing a novel continuous wavelet, it is proven that the local maxima modulus of such continuous wavelet transform of a Dirac-structure edge forms two new curves which are located symmetrically at the two sides of the original one and have the same direction with it and the distance between the two curves is estimated. An algorithm to detect curves in an image by utilizing the above invariants is developed. Several experiments are conducted, and positive results are obtained.

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. ...

Contourlet-Based Edge Extraction for Image Registration

Image registration is a crucial step in most image processing tasks for which the final result is achieved from a combination of various resources. In general, the majority of registration methods consist of the following four steps: feature extraction, feature matching, transform modeling, and finally image resampling. As the accuracy of a registration process is highly dependent to the fe...

Characterization and analysis of edges in piecewise smooth functions

The analysis and detection of edges is a central problem in applied mathematics and image processing. A number of results in recent years have shown that directional multiscale methods such as continuous curvelet and shearlet transforms offer a powerful theoretical framework to capture the geometry of edge singularities, going far beyond the capabilities of the conventional wavelet transform. T...
