Edge Detection in Multispectral Images

This paper proposes an extension of edge detectors based on second-order differential operators to the case of multiple band (color) images. To this end, we deline a local directional measure of multispectral contrast. A definition of edge point is then given, as the location of a directional maximum of the contrast function. Extremal contrast edges are defined, as loci of zero crossing points ...

SEDMI: Saliency based edge detection in multispectral images

a r t i c l e i n f o Detecting edges in multispectral images is difficult because different spectral bands may contain different edges. Existing approaches calculate the edge strength of a pixel locally, based on the variation in intensity between this pixel and its neighbors. Thus, they often fail to detect the edges of objects embedded in background clutter or objects which appear in only so...

A Gravitational Edge Detection for Multispectral Images

Gravitational edge detection is one of the new edge detection algorithms that is based on the law of gravity. This algorithm assumes that each image pixel is a celestial body with a mass represented by its grayscale intensity and their interactions are based on the Newtonian laws of gravity. In this article, a multispectral version of the algorithm is introduced. The method uses gravitational t...

Edge Detection of Multispectral Images Using Nonparametric Local Density Estimation

Detection of edges in multispectral images has been a challenging task in the research community over the past few years. In this work, a novel vector-based approach is adopted for edge detection in multichannel remotely sensed images. The discontinuity between homogeneous regions in the image is detected using the image density value estimated at the mean vector of the sliding window. The prop...
