摘要
We propose an algorithm for the computation of a region-based measure of image edge profile (IEP) acutance based on gray-level variations across the boundary of an object A procedure to calculate the acutance based on region growing and a root-mean-squared gradient measure across region boundaries has been designed and implemented. After testing the algorithm on various images, it is shown that this measure of acutance can accurately reflect changes in the appearance of objects due to blurring and sharpening operations. Using this technique, it should be possible to quantify the level of enhancement in a digital image by calculating the acutance before and after the enhancement operation. The measure should also be useful in comparing specific features or regions of interest in images produced by different imaging systems.
