Image Contour Extraction Using Wavelet Transform for Registration

Resource Overview

This program employs wavelet transform methodology to extract image contours for registration purposes. The implementation first detects edges using wavelet decomposition, identifies the longest continuous contour, computes curvature at sampled points, and performs data matching to determine optimal transformation parameters for precise image alignment.

Detailed Documentation

In this implementation, we utilize wavelet transform techniques to extract image contours and perform image registration. The algorithm begins by applying wavelet decomposition to detect multi-scale edge features in the source image. Following edge detection, the system identifies the longest continuous contour through connectivity analysis. For each sampled point along this contour, we calculate curvature values using derivative-based computations. These curvature datasets are then matched against corresponding features in the target image through optimization algorithms (such as RANSAC or least-squares fitting) to determine optimal transformation parameters including rotation, scaling, and translation. This wavelet-based approach enhances registration accuracy by leveraging multi-resolution analysis and robust feature matching, ultimately yielding superior alignment results compared to traditional methods.
