Abstract :
In this letter, we propose a novel approach to blob detection based on wavelet transform modulus maxima. We use maxima lines in scale-space to build a new blob detector. The algorithm we propose enables automatic blob detection and blob size determination. The robustness to noise of the blob detector we propose is also shown
