  • The edge of traffic image was detected with wavelet transform. Its scale influence, meteyard and adaptive thresholds were studied. Large scale filter was used to restrain and identify noise, while small scale fiter was used to precisely position for image edge. A quadric B-spline wavelet was constructed, which has eminent characters, such as narrow support, small computation amount. Simulation results prove its effect is better than that of classical Sobel operator, the former method has good anti-noise and adaptive ability.
