Abstract

Detecting edges in digital images is a trickly operation in image processing since images may contain areas with different degrees of noise, blurring and sharpeness. This operation represents an important step of the whole process of similarity shape analysis and retrieval. There is a variety of edge detectors and each detector has different performances depending on image properties. Several edge detectors are very effective for sharp images but sensitive to noise while some detectors are well adapted to both sharp and noisy images (depending on the filter parameters) but are sensitive to blurring. This article presents two smoothing and detection filters which are well adapted to the detection of blurred or/and noisy edges. Their development is based on a model of blurred contours. These filters can be implemented in a third-order recursive form and offer advantages in the analysis of different edge types (sharp, noisy and blurred). Experimental analysis shows that the results obtained by these filters give a definitely better quality of the edge detection with respect to the existing filters. They also provide a better detection and good edge localization.Keywords : edge detector, automatic shape extraction, CBIR application

Abstract

Color analysis is frequently used in image/video retrieval. However, many existing color spaces and color distances fail to capture correctly color differences usually perceived by the human eye. The objective of this paper is first to highlight the limitations of existing color spaces and similarity measures in representing human perception of colors, and then to propose (i) a new perceptual color space model called HCL, and (ii) an associated color similarity measure denoted DHCL. Experimental results show that using DHCL on the new color space leads to a solution very close to human perception of colors and hence to a potentially more effective content-based image/video retrieval. Moreover, the application of the similarity measure DHCL to other spaces like HSV leads to a better retrieval effectiveness. A comparison of HCL against L*C*H and CIECAM02 spaces using color histograms and a similarity distance based on Dirichlet distribution illustrates the good performance of HCL for a collection of 3500 images of different kinds.Key words : HCL color space, color analysis
