TLDR
It is shown that the edge location is related to the so-called ``Christoffel numbers'' and is compared with Sobel and Hueckel edge detectors in presence and absence of noise.
Abstract
A new method for locating edges in digital data to subpixel values and which is invariant to additive and multiplicative changes in the data is presented For one-dimensional edge patterns an ideal edge is fit to the data by matching moments It is shown that the edge location is related to the so-called ``Christoffel numbers'' Also presented is the study of the effect of additive noise on edge location The method is extended to include two-dimensional edge patterns where a line equation is derived to locate an edge This in turn is compared with the standard Hueckel edge operator An application of the new edge operator as an edge detector is also provided and is compared with Sobel and Hueckel edge detectors in presence and absence of noise

Subpixel measurements using a moment-based edge operator

TL;DR: In this paper, an edge operator based on two-dimensional spatial moments is presented, which can be implemented for virtually any size of window and has been shown to locate edges in digitized images to a twentieth of a pixel.

Image Compression Using Block Truncation Coding

TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique for image compression called block truncation coding (BTC) is presented and compared with transform and other techniques, which uses a two-level (one-bit) nonparametric quantizer that adapts to local properties of the image.
