Rh. Park et al., 8-POINT DISCRETE HARTLEY TRANSFORM AS AN EDGE OPERATOR AND ITS INTERPRETATION IN THE FREQUENCY-DOMAIN, Pattern recognition letters, 19(7), 1998, pp. 569-574
3 x 3 edge operators have been commonly used for their simplicity. Thi
s paper presents a novel interpretation of the 8-point discrete Hartle
y transform (DHT) as a new edge operator. The basis functions of the 8
-point DHT formulate the 3 x 3 DHT masks that are closely related to t
he Frei-Chen edge masks. New interpretation in the frequency domain is
introduced and application of the 3 x 3 DHT masks to edge detection o
f a two-dimensional image is shown. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All
