Abstract:In this paper, we proposed a new edge tracing method with high robustness to noise. Through representing edge with maximal gradient path encoded by chain code, the edge tracing problems can be converted into combinatorial optimization problems, and so they can be solved by genetic algorithm. We optimized the traditional genetic algorithm in order to improve the convergence rate. Our method is effective to edges with any shape because it does not require any prior knowledge about the edges. In this paper we als… Show more
