  1. Targil 2 Image enhancement and edge detection. For both we will use image derivatives.

  2. Image enhancement • Histogram enhancement (histogram equalization…) • Reducing noise (smoothing, median) • Sharpening • Emphasize the details • Make the edges stronger • Problem: we magnify the noise

  3. Sharpening: Subtracting The Laplacian F(x) F’(x) F’’(x) F(x)-F’’(x)

  4. Reminder : Convolution image Kernel, Convolver For example: means that

  5. Image derivatives (Convolve with [1 -1]) (Convolve with [1 -1]T) Abetter kernel: (Convolve with ½*[1 0 -1])

  6. Image derivatives (cont’) • Problem: the image is not continuous. • A better approximation: • Locally approximate the image with a smooth surface. • Compute the derivatives of this surface. Popular kernels:

  7. The second derivative Check that:

  8. The Laplacian Equation: The matrix: Subtracting the Laplacian:

  9. Sharpening Example

  10. Edge Detection Why do we need it ? • A compact representation of the image • More robust to light changes. • Easier to follow (tracking and computations of camera motion) • Segmentation: usually, edges are located at transitions between objects • Used for texture analysis

  11. Edge Detection Wide edge Noise • What are “edges” ? • How to find the edges ? • How to compute the exact location of an edge ? Texture T-junction Transition between objects

  12. The gradient The vector of derivatives Edge Size Edge Direction Derivative in Direction 

  13. The gradient Original Gradient

  14. Example: Derivatives Ix = -1 0 1 * = -1 0 1 * Iy = =

  15. Gradient Ix2 + Iy2 =

  16. Edge Localization-Zero Crossing Where exactly is the edge ? f Zero crossing of f’’ f’’ Problem: f’’ is very noisy Smooth first !

  17. A smoothing with a 2D Gaussian 1 1 (We usually use the binomial coefficients instead.) 1 2 1 1 3 3 1 1 4 6 4 1

  18. Canny Edge Detection • Computing the image derivatives Gx, Gy • Smoothing with a Gaussian. • Using simple derivative kernels. • Compute the edge direction: • Take only the local maxima in that direction (to get an edge with width 1) • Hysteresis: Edge linking with two thresholds • Q.: What will be the width of the Gaussian?
