This paper proposes that multifractal analysis method be adopted for the analysis of edge images detected with classical edge detectors. We analyze the direct multifractal analysis method based on box-counting method with experimental images, and determine the value of f(q) and a(q). By using this method, we find that the edge images detected by difference edge detectors are similar, but, the multifractal micro-structures of them are different, and, that of edge images detected by Prewitt and Roberts detector are parallel, and so do that by Log and Zerocross detector.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
