Adaptive edge detection method for images

The novel two-dimensional (2D) wavelet with anisotropic property and application of it has been presented. Wavelet is constructed in the polar coordinate system to obtain anisotropic properties. A novel edge detection method has been developed with the aid of this wavelet. This method detects gradient jump and than follows along this jump. In this way the number of calculation for edge localization is reduced. Moreover, the presented method is able to detect all edges in an image in multi-scale together with its spatial orientation. Proposed wavelet as well as edge extraction method seems to be new way to edge detection for an image.
