Edge Detection with Information Measure and Support Vector Machine

Abstract:

It is presented a novel method for image edge detection with information measure and Support Vector Machine, which is called EDWIS (edge detection with information measure and support vector machine). Both the theory analyses and the experimental results show that EDWIS not only can effectively reduce the noises of the image, but also can precisely realize the edge-position, and keep the image edges’ details well. For three kinds of images, two of them including noise, the edge detection results of EDWIS are better than those of Canny, or Sobel differential operator.
