Edge-preserving filters in a boundary options context
Abstract
A processed image becomes a degraded image if it loses its main edges. In the current paper we follow up on our previous work by further elaborating on the accordance between the traditional edge filter outcomes and boundary options operations. The correlation index allows the estimating of the similarity between a raw image and a processed image. The images are processed using the Sobel, Canny, Prewitt and Roberts filters. The same images are also processed with symmetric, circular and replicate boundary options operators. A comparative analysis is performed in order to corroborate the results. The possible optimal combination between the filter action and boundary options is identified.
