IMAGE_EDGE\ Edge Detection in Images {#image_edge-edge-detection-in-images align=”center”} ========================


IMAGE_EDGE is a C++ library which demonstrates the detection of edges in an image.

NEWS is a particularly simple edge detection scheme, which compares the North, East, West, and South neighbors of a pixel to determine if the pixel lies along an edge.

There are many sophisticated edge detection algorithms, and MATLAB has many of them built into its image processing toolbox. The purpose of these examples is simply to demonstrate how a simple version of such edge detection schemes works.

EDGE, a C++ library which defines some test functions in 1D, 2D and 3D for the detection of edges or discontinuities. It uses GNUPLOT to display the jumps in curves and surfaces.

IMAGE_COMPONENTS, a C++ library which seeks the connected “nonzero” or “nonblack” components of an image or integer vector, array or 3D block.

IMAGE_DENOISE, a C++ library which applies simple filtering techniques to remove noise from an image.

PBMA_IO, a C++ library which handles the ASCII Portable Bit Map (PBM) format.

PGMA_IO, a C++ library which handles the ASCII Portable Gray Map (PGM) format.
