Abstract:
We present a method to enhance, by postprocessing, the performance of gradient-based edge detectors. It improves the performance of the edge detector by adding terms which are similar to the artificial dissipation that appear in the numerical solution of hyperbolic PDEs. This term is added to the output of the edge detector. The edges that are missed or blurred by the edge detector are reconstructed through the addition of the artificial dissipation terms. Edges that are detected correctly by the edge detector are preserved. We present the theory of the artificial dissipation and its improvement of the quality of the detected edges. We demonstrate the performance of the algorithm on diverse images.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
