Wavelet based Scalable Edge Detector

Abstract

Fixed size kernels are used to extract differential structure of images. Increasing the kernal size reduces the localization accuracy and noise along with increase in computational complexity. The computational cost of edge extraction is related to the image resolution or scale. In this paper wavelet scale correlation for edge detection along with scalability in edge detector has been envisaged. The image is decomposed according to its resolution, structural parameters and noise level by multilevel wavelet decomposition using Quadrature Mirror Filters (QMF). The property that image structural information is preserved at each decomposition level whereas noise is partially reduced within subbands, is being exploited. An innovative wavelet synthesis approach is conceived based on scale correlation of the concordant detail bands such that the reconstructed image fabricates an edge map of the image. Although this technique falls short to spot few edge pixels at contours but the results are better than the classical operators in noisy scenario and noise elimination is significant in the edge maps keeping default threshold constraint.
