Abstract

In this paper, a new method for edge detection in presence of impulsive noise based into the use of Support Vector Machines (SVM) is presented. This method shows how the SVM can detect edge in an efficient way. The noisy images are processed in two ways, first reducing the noise by using the SVM regression and then performing the classification using the SVM classification. The results presented show that this method is better than the classical ones when the images are affected by impulsive noise and, besides, it is well suited when the images are not noisy.
