Multiscale Gabor Wavelet Fusion For Edge Detection in Microscopy Images
نویسنده
چکیده
A new algorithm fusion approach using wavelet lters is used to detect edges with low contrast in the presence of noise. Gabor wavelet edge lters are used at two scales and these are combined using algorithm fusion to locate edges of various sizes (scales) under varying contrast and noise conditions. This novel algorithm fusion approach is tested on diierent microscopy images of several materials and shown to be robust to these changing imaging conditions. A real-time skeletonization approach is also discussed that applies a new and eecient hit and miss transform (HMT) to produce lines of one pixel width.

A Fusion Method of Gabor Wavelet Transform and Unsupervised Clustering Algorithms for Tissue Edge Detection
This paper proposes two edge detection methods for medical images by integrating the advantages of Gabor wavelet transform (GWT) and unsupervised clustering algorithms. The GWT is used to enhance the edge information in an image while suppressing noise. Following this, the k-means and Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithms are used to convert a gray level image into a binary image. The propo...
