Variable-Scale Smoothing and Edge Detection Guided by Stereoscopy
نویسنده
چکیده
It is typical in edge detection applications to examine a single scale or to consider some space of scales in the image without knowing which scale is appropriate for each location in the image. However, many images contain a wide variation in the distance to the scene points, and thus objects of the same size can appear at greatly di ering scales in the image. We present a method where the scale of the smoothing and edge detection is varied locally according to the distance to the scene point, which we estimate through stereoscopy. The edges that are detected are thus at the same scale in the world, rather than at the same scale in the image. This method has been implemented e ciently by smoothing the image at a discrete set of scales and performing interpolation to estimate the response at the correct scale for each pixel. The application of this technique to an ordnance recognition problem has resulted in a considerable improvement in performance.

متن کاملAlternating guided image filtering
Edge preserving filters aim to simplify the representation of images (e.g., by reducing noise or eliminating irrelevant detail) while preserving their most significant edges. These filters are typically nonlinear and locally smooth the image structure while minimizing both blurring and over-sharpening of visually important edges. Here we present the Alternating Guided Filter (AGF) that achieves...

This paper introduces fast and effective fusing of images through merging of multiple images for creating a highly information fused image .Here the edge preserving smoothing filter is used as guided filter. The fusion criterion is to minimize the different error between the fused image and input image The proposed method is based on two scale decomposition of image into a detail layer capturin...
متن کاملPAIRED ANISOTROPIC DISTRIBUTION FOR IMAGE SELECTIVE SMOOTHING
In this paper, we present a novel approach for image selective smoothing by the evolution of two paired nonlinear partial differential equations. The distribution coefficient in de-noising equation controls the speed of distribution, and is determined by the edge-strength function. In the previous works, the edge-strength function depends on isotropic smoothing of the image...
متن کاملStandard edge detection algorithms versus conventional auto-contouring used for a three-dimensional rigid CT-CT matching
Background: To reduce uncertainties of patient positioning, the Computerized Tomography (CT) images acquired at the treatment planning time can be compared with those images obtained during radiation dose delivery. This can be followed during dose delivery procedure as Image Guided radiotherapy (IGRT) to verify the prescribed radiation dose delivery to the target as well as to monitor ...
