Abstract: We present total variation anisotropic edge detection. We derive the total variation functional from measure theory, distribution theory and vector gradient method. The Euler-Lagrange equation of the total variation functional gives a steady state equation. The steady state equation acts as an anisotropic filter on an image. The total variation filtered images are compared to Laplacian filtered images. A subsequent application of the zero crossing algorithm works quite well for the traditional Marr-Hildreth method but gives poorer results for the total variation filtered images. It was found that thresholding methods work better and saves computational time. Also, our results show that total variation edge detection overcomes some drawbacks associated with the Marr-Hildreth method.
