Edge Detectors Market: Overview

Initial stages of vision processing identify image features that are important in approximating the properties and structure of an object in a visual. Edges are a vital component of this approximation. Edges are important local changes in an image and are critical in analysing images. Edges usually occur on the boundary between two different image regions. Edge detection is typically the first step in information recovery from an image. On account of its importance, edge detection is an active scientific research area in the present day and age.

An edge in an image is nothing but a notable local change in the intensity of the image, linked with a discontinuity in either the image intensity itself or the first image intensity derivative. Image intensity discontinuities can be either 1) step discontinuities i.e. where the image intensity suddenly changes from one value on one discontinuity side to an entirely different value on the other side, or 2) line discontinuities, i.e. where the image intensity suddenly changes the value but then reverts to the starting value within a short distance. It is quite rare to observe either step or line edges in a real image though. Sharp discontinuities are highly unlikely in real signals on account of low-frequency components or smoothing introduced by the majority of sensing devices. Line edges turn into roof edges and step edges turn into ramp edges, where image intensity changes are not immediate but occur over a certain distance.

It is quite possible for an image to include both line and step characteristics. For e.g.- a surface that changes orientation from one level surface to another flat surface produces a step edge; if the surface corner is rounded and it has a specular component of reflectance, there could be a highlight as the rounded corner surface orientation passes a particular angle for specular reflection. The edge profile created in such a situation appears as a step edge with a line edge superimposed on it. There can also be edges connected to first derivative image intensity changes. For e.g. - mutual reflection from a concave corner side generates roof edges. Edges are a vital image feature as they could correspond to significant defining characteristics of objects in a scene. For e.g. - An object boundary typically creates step edges as the object image intensity is different from the background image intensity.

Edge Detectors Market: What is a Gradient?

Edge detection is essentially the detection of substantial changes in an image that are local in nature. In one dimension, a step edge is linked to a local peak in the first derivative. The gradient is a measure of change in the function and the image can be thought of having an array of samples of a recurring function of image intensity. By way of an analogy, image grey value significant changes can be identified by using a discrete estimation to the gradient. The gradient is a two-dimensional equal of the first derivative and is called the vector.
Two important properties are connected to the gradient - the vector points in the direction of the maximum function increase rate and the gradient magnitude given by the maximum rate of increase for every unit distance. It is quite common to estimate the gradient magnitude in terms of absolute values. An important point to note is that the gradient magnitude is actually independent of the edge direction. These operators are known as isotropic operators.

Edge Detectors Market: Steps

Edge detection consists of three steps –

  1. Filtering - As gradient computation based on the intensity values of two points is susceptible to noise and other variances in computation, filtering is typically used to improve an edge detector’s performance w.r.t noise. There is a trade-off between noise reduction and edge strength though. Greater filtration to reduce the noise leads to a loss in edge strength

  2. Enhancement – To facilitate edge detection, it is vital to ascertain intensity changes in the vicinity of a point. Enhancement focuses upon pixel emphasis where there is a substantial change in local intensity value and it is conducted by calculating the gradient magnitude

  3. Detection ­– Only points with a strong edge content are desired. Many image points might have a gradient non-zero value though, and not all points are edges for the particular application. Thus, a method should be deployed to identify which points are edge ones. Thresholding provides the needed criterion for detection
