Edge Detection Error in the Discrete Laplacian of Gaussian
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of determining suitable mask values and sizes for the discrete implementation of the Laplacian of Gaussian edge operator. This is achieved by providing a theoretical connection between the mask size and the edge detection error introduced by truncation of the operator. Additionally, the importance of introducing a bias correction within the finite approximation is developed. Experimental results are shown to confirm the theoretical predictions.

On the discrete representation of the Laplacian of Gaussian
The Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) is commonly employed as a second-order edge detector in image processing, and it is popular because of its attractive scaling properties. However, its application within a "nite sampled domain is non-trivial due to its in"nite extent. Heuristics are often employed to determine the required mask size and they may lead to poor edge detection and location. We derive...
متن کاملNoisy 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...
متن کاملOptimum decoder for multiplicative spread spectrum image watermarking with Laplacian modeling
This paper investigates the multiplicative spread spectrum watermarking method for the image. The information bit is spreaded into middle-frequency Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) coefficients of each block of an image using a generated pseudo-random sequence. Unlike the conventional signal modeling, we suppose that both signal and noise are distributed with Laplacian distribution, because the ...
متن کاملDesign of FIR bilevel Laplacian-of-Gaussian filter
The Laplacian-of-Gaussian (LoG) (lter is an optimal edge detector, but it is computationally ine3cient. In this paper, we propose the bilevel Laplacian-of-Gaussian (BLoG) (lter to approximate the LoG (lter. This approximation is formulated as an optimization problem and solved by the gradient descent algorithm. Only two multiplications per pixel are required in convolving with the BLoG (lter. T...
متن کاملInterpretation of gravity anomalies via terracing method of the profile curvature
One of the main goals of interpretation of gravity data is to detect location and edges of the anomalies. Edge detection of gravity anomalies is carried out by different methods. Terracing of the data is one of the approaches that help the interpreter to achieve appropriate results of edge detection. This goal becomes a complex task when the gravity anomalies have smooth borders due to gradual ...
