Study Notes
Edge Detection Overview
- Edge detection identifies the boundaries of objects in images by analyzing intensity discontinuities.
- It is a fundamental process in image processing, computer vision, and machine learning.
Key Techniques
-
Feature Extraction:
- Identifies crucial points or features in an image, aiding in object recognition.
-
Sobel Operator:
- Computes the gradient of image intensity.
- Effective in highlighting edges based on intensity changes.
-
Canny Edge Detector:
- Utilizes a multi-stage algorithm for edge detection.
- Capable of detecting a diverse range of edges in images.
Lossy Compression
- Loses some data during compression leading to smaller file sizes.
- Results in reduced image quality, making it less ideal for images requiring high fidelity.
- Common formats include JPEG and MPEG.
Compression Artifacts
- Visual distortions introduced by lossy compression methods.
- Understanding these artifacts is crucial for assessing image quality and usability.
Lossless Compression
- No data is lost during compression, allowing perfect reconstruction of the original image.
- Common formats include PNG and GIF, which maintain high image quality.
Run-Length Encoding (RLE)
- A straightforward lossless compression method.
- Replaces sequences of identical values with a single value and count, optimizing storage.
- Particularly effective for images featuring large areas of uniform color.
Huffman Coding
- A lossless technique that employs variable-length codes for different symbols.
- Codes are assigned based on the frequency of the symbols to optimize compression efficiency.
