TLDR
The main conclusion is that contour detection has reached high degree of sophistication, taking into account multimodal contour definition (by luminance, color or texture changes), mechanisms for reducing the contour masking influence of noise and texture, perceptual grouping, multiscale aspects and high-level vision information.

Accurate subpixel edge location based on partial area effect

TL;DR: A new edge detector based on an edge and acquisition model derived from the partial area effect, which does not assume continuity in the image values is presented, achieving a highly accurate extraction of the position, orientation, curvature and contrast of the edges.

Image-based mapping of surface fissures for the investigation of landslide dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, a largely automated technique for the mapping of landslide surface fissures from very high-resolution aerial images was proposed, which includes the use of filtering algorithms and post-processing of the filtered images using object-oriented analysis.

Improved spatial fuzzy c-means clustering for image segmentation using PSO initialization, Mahalanobis distance and post-segmentation correction

TL;DR: The proposed improvement method, named improved spatial fuzzy c-means IFCMS, was evaluated on several test images including both synthetic images and simulated brain MRI images from the McConnell Brain Imaging Center (BrainWeb) database and demonstrates the efficiency of the ideas presented.

A Computational Approach to Edge Detection

TL;DR: There is a natural uncertainty principle between detection and localization performance, which are the two main goals, and with this principle a single operator shape is derived which is optimal at any scale.

A theory for multiresolution signal decomposition: the wavelet representation

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the difference of information between the approximation of a signal at the resolutions 2/sup j+1/ and 2 /sup j/ (where j is an integer) can be extracted by decomposing this signal on a wavelet orthonormal basis of L/sup 2/(R/sup n/), the vector space of measurable, square-integrable n-dimensional functions.
