Questions tagged [edge-detection]

Edge detection is a tool in computer vision used to find discontinuities (edges) in images or graphs. Use this tag when asking about finding and manipulating edges or edge interaction.

Edge detection is a part of computer vision where the goal is to find edges in images. This often involves computing derivatives of the image with respect to the coordinates, because intuitively if the difference between two neighboring pixels is high, it is likely that there is an edge in the image. A popular edge detection algorithm is the Canny edge detector. Other edge detection algorithm includes Laplace & Sobel.

Discontinuities in image are likely to correspond to

  • discontinuities in depth
  • discontinuities in surface orientation
  • changes in material properties and
  • variations in scene illumination

Finding edges in a height map

I want to find sharp edges in a heightmap image, while ignoring shallow edges. OpenCV offers multiple approaches to finding edges in a 2d Image: Canny, Sobel, etc. However, all these approaches work by comparing the intensity values on both sides of…

Matlab edge detection problems - can I do it manually?

I have a set of roughly 2000 images to process, and have stumbled on a problem regarding my edges. The original images are CT Scans of a heart, which are then thresholded and sobel filtered to produce a binary image of parts of the tissue.…
