Edge Detection In Range Images With Multiple Window Operators

This paper presents a hybrid approach towards the detection of edges in range images. It tends to combine region growing and one dimensional orthogonal polynomial fitting techniques for the detection of edges in range images. Edges detected by such method possess good localisation property. The incorporation of region growing process eliminates internal micro edges and pzoduces a segmentation map. The edge and segmentation maps when conveyed to the higher level recognition process, may prove valuable for object identification purposes.
