abstract = {Artificial neural networks have been shown to perform well
in many image processing applications such as coding, pattern
recognition and texture segmentation. In a typical multi-layer model of
this class, neurons in each layer are linked by synaptic weights to a
receptive field region in the layer below it. The input image itself is
linked to the lowest layer. We propose here a two stage
encoder-detector network for edge detection. The single layer encoder
stage, trained in a competitive mode, compresses data from an input
receptive field and drives a back-propagation- trained detector network
whose two outputs represent components of an edge vector. Experimental
results show that for the case of step edges in noisy images, the
performance is comparable to that of the Canny detector.},
