In this paper, a method of region expanding evenly along edge is presented, meanwhile holes can be detected as byproducts. The complexity of the algorithm is O(n), where n is the quantity of pixels in the region. The source region is selected by 5 contiguous pixels with shape "+", of which the surrounding 4 pixels constitute the original edge. For every edge segment, a pixel out of the edge is che...Show More
This study proposes a novel seeded region growing based image segmentation method for both color and gray level images. The proposed fuzzy edge detection method, that only detects the connected edge, is used with fuzzy image pixel similarity to automatically select the initial seeds. The fuzzy distance is used to determine the difference between the pixel and region in the consequent regions growi...Show More
In this paper, we propose a new concept to integrate the conventional image segmentation techniques in order to accomplish the reasonable segmentation results. First, we develop an automatic seed selection algorithm using histogram for both scale and color vector.

Region based steganography hides secret information in a particular region of the image. Here the regions are selected based on image attributes or the characteristics of human perceptions. The challenges of this kind of steganography approach are enhancement in capacity and the proper extraction of target data at the receiver side. Edge based steganography is special kind of region based approach...Show More
A new method for segmenting images using abrupt changes in intensity (edge points) to separate regions of smoothly varying intensity is discussed. Region segmentation using edge points has not been very successful in the past because small gaps would allow merging of dissimilar regions. The present method uses an expansion-contraction technique in which the edge regions are first expanded to close...Show More
Inspired by the fact that edge is an important cue to distinguish texts from background, we propose a novel scene text detection method via edge cue and multiple features, which has two main parts, i.e. candidate character region (CCR) extraction and region classification. For CCR extraction, the edges are first extracted from the input image, which are then broken and merged based on color featur...Show More

This paper proposes an adaptive edge-directed interpolation algorithm using multidirectional neighbor pixels. In order to restore multidirectional edges, a missing pixel is estimated as a weighted sum of 12 neighbor pixels. Based on the geometric duality between a low resolution image and a high resolution image, interpolation coefficients are predicted using Wiener filter theory. In order to redu...Show More

Preserving the sharpness of edge structures is highly challenging to image interpolation. In this paper, we propose an edge-oriented two-step interpolation method that utilizes an edge training set. For edge interpolation, the LR edge map is converted into the HR edge map by using the training set. Then, an image is classified into smooth and edge regions using the HR edge map, and both regions ar...Show More

In this paper, we propose an adaptive interpolation method for low quality still images such as single video frames. Our method chooses different interpolation schemes according to the local image context. First, we segment the image into three types of regions: smooth regions which contain no edges, well-defined edges such as object boundaries, and textured regions which are covered by dense spur...Show More

An edge detection algorithm is a filter which significantly reduces the amount of information present in an image such that only high frequency changes in either range or intensity are visible in the resulting image. In order to perform effective edge detection the user must have a clear idea of the frequency above which an edge will be identified. In grey-scale images, edges represent sudden or h...Show More
It is found that in the edge detection of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, conventional Gaussian-Gamma Shaped (GGS) and Ratio of Average (ROA) algorithms use detection windows that tend to cross over the true edges and contain regions of different quality, which leads to high false alarm rates. To solve this problem, the study proposes a new edge detector with a novel window design called th...Show More

Lines provide important information in images and line detection is crucial in many applications. Many line features can be used to detect line position while line width (i.e., thickness) is a more structured, higher-level feature compared to edge or other line features. Every point of the wide line structure has its own width in spite of the structure's asymmetry. In this paper, we use the parall...Show More
