Abstract
Edge detection is formulated as a curve fitting problem. First, high-g radient pixels are grouped into elongated regions and then a curve is fitted to each. The curve fitting method used in this work does not re quire solving a system of equations, and therefore is fast. Examples o f edge detection by curve fitting on synthetic and real images are pre sented, and results obtained are compared with those determined by the Laplacian of Gaussian operator.
