Abstract

Edge detection plays an important role in the field of image processing. In this paper, we propose a novel variational model to automatically and adaptively detect one or more prior shapes from the given dictionary to guide the edge detection process. In that way, we can effectively detect the shapes of interest from the test image. Moreover, an efficient algorithm based on the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) is proposed to solve this model with guaranteed convergence. A variety of numerical experiments show that the proposed method has achieved ideal performance for edge detection in images with missing information, various types of noise and complicated background, and even multiple objects.
