A new algorithm of detecting image edge based on local entropy is proposed. It is analyzed that the smaller the local entropy is, the bigger the dispersion is. So the point with big local entropy is considered as a edge pixel, which can be detected by computing the local entropy of pixel and its eight neighbor pixel. Simulation shows that this algorithm has a higher precision because of having better anti-noise ability.Index Terms -Detecting image edge. Local entropy. Pixel
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
