ImageDev

RidgeDetection

Provides the local maxima of an image.

Access to parameter description

For an introduction: This algorithm provides the local maxima using an edge tracking process. On a two-dimensional image, it keeps the configuration of those kind of 3x3 neighborhoods: $$ \begin{array}{ccc} x & b & x\\ x & a & x\\ x & c & x\end{array} \qquad \begin{array}{ccc} x & x & x\\ b & a & c\\ x & x & x\end{array} \qquad \begin{array}{ccc} b & x & x\\ x & a & x\\ x & x & c\end{array} \qquad \begin{array}{ccc} x & x & b\\ x & a & x\\ c & x & x\end{array} \qquad where ~ b < a ~ and ~ c < a $$
