Abstract :
The scale-rate is presented as a novel feature of local complexity in digital images. The scale-rate is experimentally proved to be an important feature of image edge areas. Multi-feature edge extraction is achieved with the scale-rate and image intensity discontinuity. Experimental results show that exploiting the scale-rate feature improves the performance of edge extraction.
