2-D edge feature extraction to subpixel accuracy using the generalized energy approach

Precision edge feature extraction is a very important step in vision, Researchers mainly use step edges to model an edge at subpixel level. In this paper we describe a new technique for two dimensional edge feature extraction to subpixel accuracy using a general edge model. Using six basic edge types to model edges, the edge parameters at subpixel level are extracted by fitting a model to the image signal using least-.squared error fitting technique.
