Ordered directional monotonicity in the construction of edge detectors

In this paper we provide a specific construction method of ordered directionally monotone functions. We show that the functions obtained with this construction method can be used to build edge detectors for grayscale images. We compare the results of these detectors to those obtained with some other...

Description
Summary:In this paper we provide a specific construction method of ordered directionally monotone functions. We show that the functions obtained with this construction method can be used to build edge detectors for grayscale images. We compare the results of these detectors to those obtained with some other ones that are widely used in the literature. Finally, we show how a consensus edge detector can be built improving the results obtained both by our proposal and by those in the literature when applied individually.
