A matrix of zeros and ones of the same size as the input image.
Arguments
image
A matrix that represents the image.
bandwidth
A positive integer that specifies the number of
pixels to use in the local smoothing.
edge
A matrix of 0 and 1 represents detected edge
pixels.
plot
If plot = TRUE, images of detected edges before
and after the modification are plotted.
Details
A local-smoothing based edge detection algorithm may flag deceptive edge
pixel candidates. One kind of such candidates consists of those close
to the real edges. They occur due to the nature of local
smoothing. That is, if the point \((x_i, y_j)\) is flagged,
then its neighboring pixels will be flagged with high probability.
This kind of deceptive candidates can make the detected edges
thick. This modification procedure makes the detected edges
thin.
