00600 non-equiv of intensity features to semantic features
00700 inadequacy of current techniques

01110 A.1 local edge operator
01115 design criteria-optimality
01120 duality region-boundary
01125
01130 sensitivity vs (cost,resolution,utility)
01135 insensitive to smooth gradients-later inhibition,Retinex
01140 2D not 1D-indistinguishable from noise except by extension
01145 range of sizes, for texture,pt features
01150 comp cost-optimality
01155 sensitivity-optimality
01160
01165 comp cost in terms of N pt support N=nxn
01170 lower bound in cost is k*N arith operations, where k≥2 to
01175 get several moments to find directionality
01180 example k=2, N=8x8 implies 128 arith operations per application
01185 include the effect of applying every bth pixel
01190 allows directly nxn parellelism
01195
01200 sensitivity
01205 contrast required for 50% false negatives at an edge
01210 for 5% false positives at no edge
01215 signal=(N/2)*h
01220 noise=sqrt(N)*sigma
01225 cutoff threshold: signal = 2* noise
01230 (N/2)*h=2*sqrt(N)*sigma
01235 contrast h = 4*sigma/sqrt(N)
01240 account for a variety of directions by including a factor of sqrt(2)
01245 for vertical and horizontal directions.
01250 Thus the optimal is approximately h = 4*sqrt(2)*sigma/sqrt(N)
01255 or for a 6x6 support, h ≥ .9*sigma
01260 The Hueckel operator gives h = 1.4*sigma
01265 Thus, the Hueckel operator is not terribly far from optimal,
01270 and not much is to be gained by improvements in sensitivity.
