Abstract
An edge detection technique combines a low-pass second derivative of an image signal, a low-pass first derivative of the image signal, and an estimation of edge frequency. The edge frequency estimation is preferably based on a ratio of a third to a first low-pass derivative of image signal. The image signal is preferably a luminance signal.
