Abstract

Image edge is an important feature of image. Usually, we use Laplacian or Sober operator to get an image edge. In this paper, we use fractal method to get the edge. After introducing Fractal Brownian Random (FBR) field, we give the definition of Discrete Fractal Brownian Increase Random (DFBIR) field and discuss its properties, then we apply the DFBIR field to detect the edge of an image. According to the parameters H and D of DFBIR, we give a measure M equals (alpha) H + (beta) D. From the M value of each pixel, we can detect the edge of image.
