• Abstract: Edge detection, as a fundamental task in computer vision, has garnered increasing attention. The advent of deep learning has significantly advanced this field. However, recent deep learning-based methods which rely on large-scale pre-trained weights cannot be trained from scratch, with very limited research addressing this issue. This paper proposes a novel cycle pixel difference convolution (CPDC), which effectively integrates image gradient information with modern convolution operations. Based on the CPDC, we develop a U-shape encoder-decoder model named CPD-Net, which is a purely end-to-end network. Additionally, to address the issue of edge thickness produced by most existing methods, we construct a multi-scale information enhancement module (MSEM) to enhance the discriminative ability of the model, thereby generating crisp and clean contour maps. Comprehensive experiments conducted on three standard benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves competitive performance on the BSDS500 dataset (ODS=0.813), NYUD-V2 (ODS=0.760), and BIPED dataset (ODS=0.898). Our approach provides a novel perspective for addressing these challenges in edge detection.

• Learning to utilize image second-order derivative information for crisp edge detection [16.152236524867078]
  Edge detection is a fundamental task in computer vision. Recent top-performing edge detection methods tend to generate thick and noisy edge lines. We propose a second-order derivative-based multi-scale contextual enhancement module (SDMCM) to help the model locate true edge pixels accurately. We also construct a hybrid focal loss function (HFL) to alleviate the imbalanced distribution issue. In the end, we propose a U-shape network named LUS-Net which is based on the SDMCM and BRM for edge detection.

• Edge Detectors Can Make Deep Convolutional Neural Networks More Robust [25.871767605100636]
  This paper first employs the edge detectors as layer kernels and designs a binary edge feature branch (BEFB) to learn the binary edge features. The accuracy of the BEFB integrated models is better than the original ones on all datasets when facing FGSM, PGD, and C&W attacks. The work in this paper for the first time shows it is feasible to enhance the robustness of DCNNs through combining both shape-like features and texture features.
