Edge Location Method for Multidimensional Image Based on Edge Symmetry Algorithm

Abstract

The most basic feature of an image is edge, which is the junction of one attribute area and another attribute area in the image. It is the most uncertain place in the image and the place where the image information is most concentrated. The edge of an image contains rich information. So, the edge location plays an important role in image processing, and its positioning method directly affects the image effect. In order to further improve the accuracy of edge location for multidimensional image, an edge location method for multidimensional image based on edge symmetry is proposed. The method first detects and counts the edges of multidimensional image, sets the region of interest, preprocesses the image with the Gauss filter, detects the vertical edges of the filtered image, and superposes the vertical gradient values of each pixel in the vertical direction to obtain candidate image regions. The symmetry axis position of the candidate image region is analyzed, and its symmetry intensity is measured. Then, the symmetry of vertical gradient projection in the candidate image region is analyzed to verify whether the candidate region is a real edge region. The multidimensional pulse coupled neural network (PCNN) model is used to synthesize the real edge region after edge symmetry processing, and the result of edge location of the multidimensional image is obtained. The results show that the method has strong antinoise ability, clear edge contour, and precise location.
