Matlab Exercises
Empirical Evaluation of Edge Detection/Estimation Schemes
Concentration Kernel Based Edge Detection
- Implement the concentration kernel based edge detection method.
- Evaluate and plot the concentration/conjugate Fourier sum .
- Use Matlab's
findpeaks()
function to pinpoint the jump locations and jump heights.
- How accurate are these jump estimates? How does the performance change with N (the number of Fourier modes used)?
- Compute edge-augmented Fourier reconstructions using the estimated jump information to improve the accuracy of your Fourier reconstruction. How does the accuracy change with N (the number of Fourier modes used)?
Prony-Based Edge Detection
- Implement Prony's method for detecting jump locations and jump heights.
- How accurate are these jump estimates? How does the performance change with N (the number of Fourier modes used) and other Prony parameters?
- Compute edge-augmented Fourier reconstructions using the estimated jump information to improve the accuracy of your Fourier reconstruction. How does the accuracy change with N (the number of Fourier modes used)?
- What happens when the number of jumps in the function is not exactly known?
Note: Try and write Matlab code (that you can eventually make public on the web) that is readable, well-documented and can recreate your figures/tables/other technical results.
Documents to Prepare
- (due end of day Thurs., 6/16) Prepare a 15 minute Beamer/LaTeX presentation summarizing your research findings from the week. You will be presenting (as a group) to your fellow REU students/groups during the Friday meeting/discussion at the Holmes Hall seminar room.
- (due end of day Thurs., 6/16) Continue preparing your technical report in LaTeX detailing your research findings to date. Structure this report as if it were a technical paper - it should contain (i) an abstract (ii) introduction (iii) background material (summarizing the main results/theorems) on Fourier series and the Gibbs phenomenon (iv) theoretical development of edge detection and edge-augmented Fourier reconstructions (v) numerical results. By now, you should have 1D theoretical and numerical results.
