The Study of Sub-Pixel Edge Detection Algorithm Based on the Function Curve Fitting

Edge detection is the most basic problem in the process of image processing. The precision of traditional edge detection algorithm is not very high, it unable to meet the high precision need of modern industrial test technology. In order to overcome the deficiency, this text proposed sub-pixel edge detection algorithm based on the function curve fitting-Gauss fitting of gradient direction sub-pixel edge detection algorithm. According to the gradient distribution of the image, this text use gauss curve fitting the edge in order to realize the sub-pixel location. This text compared this algorithm with sub-pixel edge detection based on the LOG operator and sub-pixel edge detection based on the quadratic, and draw that this algorithm not only have the short running time and high efficiency, but also has proved that the algorithm has rotation invariant through the experiment.
