Edge detection in grayscale digital images based on the locations of zero crossings has been investigated. Samples of the image are transformed using the discrete symmetric cosine transform (DSCT) and filtered using truncated time or frequency sampled forms of the Laplacian-of-Gaussian (LOG) filter. This article presents and evaluates adaptive block-based filtering procedures to localize edges based on discrete circular and real transforms. Measures of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and edge localization are provided
