- BOIE-COX EDGE DETECTOR
-
- Two main programs, bc and cb.
-
- bcd -h -t Filter_Width Optional_Threshold < Input_File > Output_File
-
- bcd takes its Input_File from standard input, and writes to standard
- out.
- The option "-h" DISABLES hysteresis thresholding.
- The option "-t" DISABLES thinning
-
- Both the Input_File and the Output_File are in binary form. It is
- assumed that the image is stored row at a time with a 10 byte header
- at the front. The header consists of a two byte type field.
- Followed by nx (two bytes) and ny (two bytes),
- the row and column dimensions. The remaining four bytes are unused.
- ********************************************************************
- WARNING: The files bcd.c and write.c should be modified to follow
- the image format used at this site.
- ********************************************************************
-
- The edge detector requires the user to provide both the sigma of the
- filter (measured in pixels) and a threshold.
- For most images, 1.5 appears
- to be a commonly used value for sigma.
-
- It is recommended that no threshold be supplied.
- However, the automatic thresholding can be overrided be specifying
- the desired numerical threshold.
