Abstract

We specialize to some simple cases the algorithm for singularity detection in images from eigenvalues of the dual local autocovariance matrix. The eigenvalue difference, or "edginess" at a point, then reduces to a simple nonlinear function. We discuss the derivation of these functions, which provide low-complexity nonlinear edge filters with parameters for customization, and obtain formulas using the two smallest masks. We then exhibit their effects on six sample images.
