title: Automatic gradient threshold determination for edge detection.
abstract: We describe a method to automatically find gradient thresholds to separate edge from nonedge pixels. A statistical model that is the weighted sum of two gamma densities corresponding to edge and nonedge pixels is used to identify a threshold. Results closely match human perceptual thresholds even under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels.
