Scientific paper

We present a fast algorithm for slope detection on grey scale images, based on 2D-FFT, which may be used for line or edge detection. Our approach is based on the calculation of ``energy'' per direction of the image, thus obtaining the Energy Spectrum on Slope (α). This exhibits local maxima at the points where α equals the slopes of linear or quasi-linear segments within the image, yet it is not affected by their position within it. The process thus outlined was motivated by the study of astrophysical images (Solar Dynamic Radio Spectra) which necessitated the introduction of a method for fast extraction of drifting structures, since they appear as linear or quasi linear segments on these spectra.
