Method of Edge Extraction Based on Wavelet Transform for the Image of Mechanical Engineering Drawings

A method, by which the broken edge of mechanical engineering drawings being binarised can be eliminated and the whole edge of mechanical engineering drawing can be got, is given. To all points of a connected area on the image of the modular maximum value of wavelet transform at scale 2², the averaging grey value method is used to their grey values, then the edge of the dim place is continuous after the maximum variance threshold method is used. All these methods are fast, they can be used for all linear graphics having nothing to do with the grey value, its application scope is wide.
