Differential local edge detection using the DH operator

Kenneth Dawson-Howe

Abstract


A new differential local edge detector is presented that computes an edge image which is twice the original image size, allowing edges to be detected between as well as on pixels. This detector is compared with Canny and a more recent detector by Bao et al. and, based on the quantitative and qualitative test results, would appear to give better overall performance (based on the figure of merit scores), higher accuracy in terms of edge
location, and less stepping effects (although Canny does give thinner edges). The new detector is similar to compass edge detectors and hence facilitates efficient computation.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
