Inertial Product Energy and Edge Detection
Zhiheng Wang, Fuchao Wu · 2009
In this paper, a novel image edge detector called the inertial product energy-based edge detector is presented. The inertial product energy is introduced, which can not only enhance the main edges but also simultaneously weaken the noise and tiny edges in image, and thus a better trade-off between de-noising and edge-locating can be obtained by using the inertial product energy. The experiment results in this paper show that compared with the classic Canny edge detector, in the case of offering the equivalent precision for edge locating, the inertial product energy-based edge detector performs better in de-noising and tiny edges controlling. Furthermore, our new detector is less sensible to the adjustment of the parameters.
