hello all,

is there any way to smooth or refine irregular edges in an image...for example the edges in the image below : C:\fakepath\wiqi.jpg

Thanks,

Here a simple answer to this but not an exact one:

  1. first of all you should extract sharp edges. Like if you use Canny for edge detection set the thresholds somehow to that is responsive to sharp edges.
  2. Then you could simply use a smoothing filter(e.g Gaussian) where a sharp edges where detected.

Thats not even a problem! Do the edge detection operation on the gray image. Once you found the locations do the blurring operation on every image channel! :)

I understand how it is hard when you deal with it first time! At last if you found my answer correct and helpful please select the tik mark on the left side. :)
