A Novel Thresholding Segmentation and Edge Optimization Method Using Spatial Gradient Information
Proposes a novel edge detection method combining gray histogram with spatial gradient information for low contrast image.This method gets improved results via three key steps:in de-noising process,preserves most of the edges by analyzing the character of noisy point and edge point;combined the spatial gradient information with gray histogram to obtain the thresholds of segmentation;applies the spatial gradient information again to optimize the extracted edges.Experimental results show that the proposed method obtains better results in low contrast images of various characters.
