Edge detection
• What is an edge and where does it come from
• Edge detection by differentiation
• Image gradients
– continuous and discrete
– filters (e.g., Sobel operator)
• Effects of noise on gradients
• Derivative theorem of convolution
• Derivative of Gaussian (DoG) operator
• Laplacian operator
– Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG)
• Canny edge detector (basic idea)
– Effects of varying sigma parameter
• Approximating an LoG by subtraction
• Hough Transform (lines, circles, “generalized” (from midterm))
