Contrast-Invariant Edge Detection: A Methodological Advance in Medical Image Analysis by Dang Li, Patrick Cheong-Iao Pang, Chi-Kin Lam

“…Each bit plane is used to detect edges in 3 × 3 blocks by the proposed algorithm, and then the edge information from each plane is fused to obtain an edge image. This method is generalized to common types of images. Since CIED is based on binary bit planes and eliminates complex pixel operations, it is faster and more efficient. …”
