The Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) operator is one of the most popular operators used in edge detection. This operator, however, has some problems: zero-crossings do not always correspond to edges, and edges with an asymmetric profile introduce a symmetric bias between edge and zero-crossing locations. The authors offer solutions to these two problems. First, for one-dimensional signals, such as slices from images, they propose a simple test to detect true edges, and, for the problem of bias, they propose different techniques: the first one combines the results of the convolution of two LoG operators of different standard deviations, whereas the others sample the convolution with a single LoG filter at two points besides the zero-crossing. In addition to localization, these methods allow them to further characterize the shape of the edge. The authors present an implementation of these techniques for edges in 2-D images.

A multidimensional edge model is established and a first-order estimation for multidimensional edge profiles is proposed. An optimal edge location detection algorithm is developed. The advantages of the algorithm are that (1) it has little dependence on assumptions of edge models, noise models, or smoothing filters, (2) it has better abilities for detecting very weak edges and making less edge orientation errors than other edge detectors, (3) it can handle corners and complicated multidimensional image structures, and (4) it detects different edge types at the same time.< >

In recent years several nonlinear diffusion schemes have been introduced. We discuss the numerical implementation of a number of current nonlinear evolution schemes, using the notion of well-posed differentiation by Gaussian kernels. The infinitesimal change of an image when increasing scale depends on the local differential invariants evaluated at the scale of the image considered, i.e. on terms of the local jet (the set of all spatial partial derivatives at that point). All these differential terms can be obtained in a well-posed fashion by a convolution of the original image with the family of the Gaussian and its derivatives. The nonlinear partial differential evaluation can thus be numerically approximated by an iterative calculation of the appropriate terms in the local jet. Examples are given for medical images.< >

A CAD-model-based machine vision system for dimensional inspection of machine parts is described, with emphasis on the theory behind the system. The original contributions of this work are: (1) the use of precise definitions of geometric tolerances suitable for use in imageprocessing. (2) the development of measurement algorithms corresponding directly to these definitions, (3) the derivation of the uncertainties in the measurement tasks, and (4) the use of this uncertainty information in the decision-making process. Initial experimental results have verified the uncertainty derivations statistically and proved that the error probabilities obtained by propagating uncertainties are lower than those obtainable without uncertainty propagation.< >

This paper will review the design of a working system that visually recognizes hand gestures for the control of a window based user interface. After an overview of the system, it will explore one aspect of gestural interaction in depth, hand tracking, and what is needed for the user to be able to interact comfortably with on-screen objects. We describe how the location of the hand is mapped to a location on the screen, and how it is both necessary and possible to smooth the camera input using a non-linear physical model of the cursor. The performance of the system is examined, especially with respect to abject selection. We show how a standard HCI model of object selection (Fitts' Law) can be extended to model the selection performance of free-hand pointing.

A linear generalized Hough transform (LIGHT) in which a linear numeric pattern is used to replace the single peak in the original generalized Hough transform (GHT) is presented. The LIGHT is more capable of detecting partially occluded objects. Moreover, it is well-suited for parallelization, especially on SIMD array processors. Several sequential and parallel LIGHT algorithms have been developed. Preliminary results for parallel implementation were obtained from and SIMD one-dimensional array processor (the AIS-4000 vision processor with 512 processing.elements).< >

This work explores a statistical basis for a process often described in computer vision: image segmentation by region merging following a particular order in the choice of regions. We exhibit a particular blend of algorithmics and statistics whose error is, as we formally show, close to the best possible. This approach can be approximated in a very fast segmentation algorithm for processing.images described using most common numerical feature spaces. Simple modifications of the algorithm allow us to cope with occlusions and/or hard noise levels. Experiments on grey-level and color images, obtained with a short C-code, display the quality of the segmentations obtained.
