Edge and Corner Detection

Reading: Chapter 8 (skip 8.1)

\u2022Goal:Identify sudden
changes (discontinuities) in an
image

\u2022This is where most shape

information is encoded

\u2022Example: artist\u2019s line
drawing (but artist is also
using object\u00adlevel knowledge)

What causes an edge?

\u2022Depth

discontinuity

\u2022Surface

orientation

discontinuity

\u2022Reflectance

discontinuity (i.e.,
change in surface
material
properties)

Smoothing and Differentiation

\u2022Edge: a location with high gradient (derivative)
\u2022Need smoothing to reduce noise prior to taking derivative
\u2022Need two derivatives, in x and y direction.
\u2022We can use derivative of Gaussian filters

\u2022because differentiation is convolution, and

convolution is associative:

D * (G * I) = (D * G) * I
