A new method for linear feature and junction enhancement in 2D images based on morphological operation, oriented anisotropic Gaussian function and Hessian information
作者：
Highlights：
• In this study, we propose a new method to enhance structures with linear features in images.
• An adaptive multi-scale morpho-Gaussian filter is proposed to enhance as well as smooth the linear structures.
• We solve the junction suppression problem that can be seen in many existing methods.
• The approach is applied on several types of images.
• We make comparisons with several existing methods and the results show that our method can achieve better results.
