Problems solved by technology

In the formula for calculating g1(x, y) or g2(x, y) in the prior art, a second-order gradient operator is used, which is sensitive to noise, so it is easy to cause misjudgment or missed judgment when performing edge detection. leading to poor edge detection

Embodiment 1

[0037] figure 2 A schematic flow chart of an edge detection method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes:

[0038] S1. Determine the decision window, the decision window is a pixel block of N*N size, wherein N is an odd number, and N is greater than 1;

[0039] In the embodiment of the present invention, a square window with an odd number of sizes is used as a decision window to determine whether the center pixel of the decision window is an edge pixel. The selection of the decision window can be determined by resource consumption and application scenarios. The larger the window, the more resources are consumed, but the shielding effect on large particle noise is also better. For example, a judgment window with a size of 5×5, 7×7 or 9×9 can be used, where the size is represented by pixels, and a judgment window of 5×5 means that the window contains 25 pixels with 5 rows and 5 columns. pixels.

Embodiment 2

[0082] The edge detection method of the present invention is introduced below with a specific application example.

[0083] Take the detection of the 0 degree, 90 degree, 45 degree and 135 degree edge of the image with post-noise with a 5×5 decision window as an example. The original image is shown in Figure 5, which is polluted by certain Gaussian noise.

[0084] Step 1. Select a 5×5 decision window;

[0085] Step 2, the division of edge blocks in the decision window, the specific division method is the same as that shown in Figure 3:

[0086] Step 3. Calculate the block variance of each edge direction, which is the same as described above.

[0087] Step 4. Judging the result according to the block variance. A unified threshold T=10000 is set here, and the judgment results for each direction are shown in Figure 6, Figure 6(a) is the horizontal edge judgment result, Figure 6(b) is the vertical edge judgment result, and Figure 6(c) is 45 Figure 6(d) shows the judgment result...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a method and a device for detecting edges. The method comprises the following steps that: a decision window is determined; the decision window is a pixel block with the size of NxN, wherein N is an odd number and more than one; the decision window is divided into different edge blocks according to different edge directions; block variances in the corresponding edge directions are calculated according to the edge blocks; whether a central pixel point of the decision window is an edge pixel point is judged according to the block variances. The technical proposal has the following advantages that when the method based on the block variances is adopted for detecting edges, noise can be effectively shielded, so as to obtain the accurate image edges and preserve good image information.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of multimedia technology, in particular to an edge detection method and device. Background technique [0002] Image edge detection is an important branch in the field of digital image processing, especially with the rapid development of the computer field in recent years, people's requirements for image quality are getting higher and higher, and image edge detection processing has become a research hotspot. Edge detection is often used in image enhancement and noise reduction, image interpolation calculation and other technologies. [0003] The current edge detection usually uses Sobel edge detection operator, Sobel template such as figure 1 as shown, figure 1 The value in represents the weighting coefficient corresponding to each pixel, where figure 1 (a) represents the template in the vertical direction, figure 1 (b) represents the template in the horizontal direction. For vertical templates there are: [0004...
