Popis: Automatic image interpretation for pipe inspection is a relatively recent area of research, which has great potential benefit. An important component of such systems is crack detection, or, more generally, edge or discontinuity detection. This paper describes a new approach to edge detection and applies it to pipe images. The method labels each pixel in an image as an edge pixel or a nonedge pixel by processing the Haar wavelet transform of the image in a window about the pixel using a support vector machine. As a pixel classifier, to within a moderate morphological tolerance, the detector has an accuracy of 99% on the images on which it has been tested and compares favorably with the commonly used Canny edge detector.
