A Multi-scale Line Feature Detection Using Second Order Semi-Gaussian Filters
Résumé
Among the common image structures, line feature is the extensively used geometric structure for various image processing applications, including the analysis of biomedical image with blood vessels highlighting, graph-shape structures, cracks detection, satellite images or remote sensing data. Multi-scale processing of line feature is essentially required for the extraction of more relevant information or line structures of heterogeneous widths. In this paper, a multi-scale filtering-based line detection approach using second-order semi-Gaussian anisotropic kernel is proposed. Meanwhile, a strategy is introduced to calculate the strength of the observed line feature across the different scales. The proposed technique is evaluated on real images by using their tied hand-labeled images. Finally, the experimental results and comparison of images containing different line feature widths with state-of-the-art techniques have sufficiently supported the effectiveness of our technique.
