Abstract
The mainstream methods of pantograph slide edge detection are based on canny operator and multi-scale wavelet. The former has good single edge response but the edge is fractured, the latter performs good edge continuity but contains excessive edge points. This paper combines the advantages of both methods and proposes as an improved multi-scale wavelet edge detection method based on canny criteria. Firstly we filtered the pantograph image with edge-preserving symmetric near neighbor filter. Secondly calculated the Gaussian wavelet modulus and arguments at all levels of scale, then suppressed the non-maxima value of modulus along the corresponding arguments. At last, we integrated the modulus drawings at all levels of scale, and connected edge with applicable dual-threshold. Experiments results show that the improved algorithm has both satisfactory performances in single edge response and edge continuity, it markedly improves the efficiency of edge detection algorithm. Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) analysis finds that the improved algorithm exceeds canny operator and traditional multi-scale wavelet edge detection. Moreover, it has higher positioning accuracy, clearer details and better noise performance.
