8 January 2008A robust sub-pixel edge detection method of infrared image based on tremor-based retinal receptive field model
Because of complex thermal objects in an infrared image, the prevalent image edge detection operators are often suitable
for a certain scene and extract too wide edges sometimes. From a biological point of view, the image edge detection
operators work reliably when assuming a convolution-based receptive field architecture. A DoG
(Difference-of-
Gaussians) model filter based on ON-center retinal ganglion cell receptive field architecture with artificial eye tremors
introduced is proposed for the image contour detection. Aiming at the blurred edges of an infrared image, the subsequent
orthogonal polynomial interpolation and sub-pixel level edge detection in rough edge pixel neighborhood is adopted to
locate the foregoing rough edges in sub-pixel level. Numerical simulations show that this method can locate the target
edge accurately and robustly.
