This study introduces a new edge detection model based on the Laplacian operator, improving edge localization while addressing noise sensitivity. An optimal threshold is used for a Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) estimate of edges.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Vision
  • Image Processing
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • The Laplacian operator is a second-derivative tool utilized in edge detection.
  • While offering superior edge localization compared to first-derivative methods like the Sobel operator, it is highly susceptible to noise.
  • Existing edge detection techniques often struggle with noise interference, impacting localization accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel edge detection model leveraging the Laplacian operator.
  • To enhance edge localization accuracy in image processing.
  • To mitigate the noise sensitivity inherent in the Laplacian operator.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new model based on the Laplacian operator for edge detection.
  • Introduction of an optimal thresholding strategy.
