Abstract: | Detection of outdoor wire fences in images is an important and preliminary step in an automated image analysis algorithm for the detection of wire-fence integrity. The challenge is that not only are the wires of the fences in general very thin, a daytime variation in illumination makes the task even more difficult as this may cause non-uniform illumination across the fences. We address the problem of wire-fence detection by an image processing algorithm that combines the Sobel edge operator with an adaptive thresholding technique to generate a binary image. Simulation results demonstrate that the edges of wire fences can be detected accurately under different illumination conditions. |
