FoGDbED: Fractional-order Gaussian derivatives-based edge-relevant structure detection using Caputo-Fabrizio definition

Edge-relevant structure features (ERSFs), e.g., object edges, boundaries and contours, junctions, etc. play an important role in low and middle level image processing tasks, such as image segmentation, as well as in higher-level computer vision tasks, such as scene analysis and content understanding. Commonly-used ERSF detection methods employ the integer-order differential-based methods, which are noise-sensitive and have less selectivity of...
