A METHOD FOR DENOISING IMAGE CONTOURS

Abstract

The edge detection techniques have to compromise between sensitivity and noise. In order for the main contours to be uninterrupted, the level of sensitivity has to be raised, which however has the negative effect of producing a multitude of insignificant contours (noise). This article proposes a method of removing this noise, which acts directly on the binary representation of the image contours.
