Abstract:
|
We previously proposed a robust hybrid edge detector
which relaxes the trade off between robustess against noise
and accurate localization of the edges. This hybrid detector separates
the tasks of localization and noise suppression between two
sub-detectors. In this paper, we present an extension to this hybrid
detector to determine its optimal parameters, independently
of the scene. This extension defines a probabilistic cost function
using for criteria the probability of missing an edge buried in
noise and the probability of detecting false edges. The optimization
of this cost function allows the automatic selection of the
parameters of the hybrid edge detector given the height of the
minimum edge to be detected and the variance of the noise, CT~.
The results were applied to the 20 case and the performance of
the adaptive hybrid detector was compared to other detectors. |

Description:
|
This paper describes an adaptive probabilistic technique to automatically select the parameters of a hybrid, first and second order
differential edge detector independently of the scene.

In addition, the most recent upgrade of the original software package that calculates Time-Frequency Distributions and Instantaneous Frequency estimators can be downloaded from the web site: www.time-frequency.net. This was the first software developed in the field, and it was first released publicly in 1987 at the 1st ISSPA conference held in Brisbane, Australia, and then continuously updated). |
