Edges Filters
|
| Canny Edges |
Canny Edge detection method looks for the edges of objects. So that it can be very useful for images with solid regions, where the user want only to vectorise the outlines. |
| Difference of Gaussians |
Difference Of Gaussians filter performs edge detection by rendering a Gaussian blur to an image at a specified theta (also known as sigma or standard deviation). |
| Laplace Edges |
This filter creates one-pixel wide edges from the image, with the value proportional to the gradient. It uses the Laplace operator. |
| Morphology Edges |
Edge detection by morphology operations |
Canny Edges
Canny Edge detection method looks for the edges of objects. So that it can be very useful for images with solid regions, where the user want only to vectorise the outlines. The Canny method employs more mathematics than the simple edge detection method. By modifying the settings (Min and Max thresholds) it can improve the results. This method will attempt to find boundaries between poorly defined objects as well as hard edges.
To use the Canny Edges filter: Choose Filters > Edges > Canny
Difference of Gaussians
Difference Of Gaussians filter performs edge detection by rendering a Gaussian blur to an image at a specified theta (also known as sigma or standard deviation). The resulting image is a blurred version of the source image. Then the module performs another blur with a sharper theta that blurs the image less than previously. The final image is then calculated by replacing each pixel with the difference between the two blurred images and detecting when the values cross zero, i.e. negative becomes positive and vice versa. The resulting zero crossings will be focused on the edges or areas of pixels that have some variation in their surrounding neighborhood.
To use the Difference of Gaussians filter: Choose Filters > Edges > Difference of Gaussians
Laplace Edges
Edge Detection with Laplace Operation
This filter creates one-pixel wide edges for the image, with the value proportional to the gradient. It uses the Laplace operator (a 3x3 kernel with -8 in the middle). The image has to be laplacered to get useful results
To use the Laplace Edges filter: Choose Filters > Edges > Laplace
Morphology Edges
Mathematical morphology is a method of processing digital images on the basis of shape. Morphing is available during the working over images. Morphology Edges allows to find the edges with morphological operators, by subtracting the eroded image from the dilated image. Radius and shape of a structuring element for the erode and dilate operators are specified by correspoding controls.
To use the Morphology Edges filter: Choose Filters > Edges > Morphology Edges
