Description:
Several local edge detection operators were applied to a set of ERTS pictures of the Monterey, Calif. area. Gradient operators performed consistently better than laplacian operators in detecting edges. It was also found that if a grayscale normalization operation, histogram flattening, was applied to the pictures first, the edge detector outputs were greatly enhanced. The use of interpolation for more accurate location of edges on a digital picture was also briefly investigated. Curve detection operators were applied to the edge detector outputs; this had the effect of enhancing the edges while suppressing noise.
