Edge detection insensitive to changes of illumination in the image

摘要

In this paper we present new edge detection algorithms which are motivated by recent developments on edge-adapted reconstruction techniques [F. Aràndiga, A. Cohen, R. Donat, N. Dyn, B. Matei, Approximation of piecewise smooth functions and images by edge-adapted (ENO-EA) nonlinear multiresolution techniques, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 24 (2) (2008) 225–250]. They are based on comparing local quantities rather than on filtering and thresholding. This comparison process is invariant under certain transformations that model light changes in the image, hence we obtain edge detection algorithms which are insensitive to changes in illumination.
