Abstract :
We present a method that finds edges between certain image features, e.g. gray-levels, and disregards edges between other features. The method uses a channel representation of the features and performs normalized convolution using the channel values as certainties. This means that areas with certain features can be disregarded by the edge filter. The method provides an important tool for finding tissue specific edges in medical images, as demonstrated by an MR-image example
