1、 I 摘摘 要要 数字图像的轮廓提取是数字图像处理中的一个重要方面，目的是在一幅图像中提取 对象的外部轮廓，为下一步的形状分析和目标识别做准备，是许多有关图像研究的重要 中间环节。 本文讲述了怎样对数字图像进行简单的轮廓提取, 包括图像的预处理过程和轮廓提 取的一般方法。首先要对原始图像进行预处理，处理方法主要有图像平滑、中值滤波、 梯度锐化和拉普拉斯锐化等。图像平滑处理能去除部分噪声干扰，但同时也弱化了图像 的边缘轮廓，而中值滤波处理去除噪声的效果相对来说要好。梯度锐化、拉普拉斯锐化 等处理方法能增强图像的边缘轮廓，也相对的弱化了噪声对轮廓提取的干扰。通过对图 像进行一些预处理后，就可以用不
2、同的边缘检测算法检测出不同图像的边缘轮廓，然后 通过软件实现掏空目标区域的内部点，来提取出图像的轮廓。 从图像中提取出来的轮廓可以用于进一步的图像识别、数学特征计算等研究。它的 应用是很广泛的，比如医学图像、电影、电视、出版物、摄影等等。 本文是基于Visual C+环境实现的数字图像的轮廓提取，所用编程工具为Visual Studio 2005，它能帮助用户直观的、可视地设计程序的用户界面，可以方便的编写 和管理各种类，维护程序源代码，因此能有效的提高开发效率。 关键词:图像预处理；边缘检测；轮廓提取 II Abstract Digital image processing contour
