Autonomous edge growing algorithm for edge linking
一种基于主动生长的边缘连接算法*

This paper discussed an edge linking algorithm based on autonomous edge growing for discontinuity edge of edge image caused by missed detection. After detected the position and direction of end points of edge line in edge image, edge would be grown along its original direction and the withdrawing operation would be used to make the correct edge linking. The noise of edge image would be decreased by withdrawing and restrained growing operation. Experiments show that the algorithm has excellent performance in edge linking of edge image in different cases, and the noises can not be increased in the same time, it is in favor of subsequent image processing such as image segmentation, expressing and matching.
