Goal: Identify sudden changes (discontinuities) in an image This is where most information in an image is coded Example: line drawings Edge detection
What causes an edge? • Depth discontinuity • Surface orientation discontinuity • Changes in surface properties • Light discontinuities (e.g. shadows)
Scale Increased scale: • Eliminates noisy edges • Makes edges smoother and thicker • Removes fine details
Suppression of non-maxima: • Choose the local maximum point along a perpendicular cross section of the edge.
Example: Suppression of non-maxima courtesy of G. Loy Non-maxima suppressed Original image Gradient magnitude
Example: Canny Edge Detection Using Matlab with default thresholds
Corner Detector • Compute x- and y-derivatives with a Gaussian filter • Form the orientation tensor M for every pixel • Compute the product of eigen-values, i.e., the determinant of M • If both eigenvalues large (product is a local maximum), then it is a corner!
Corners can be detected where the product of the ellipse axes are local maxima
