6. CONCLUSIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the paper, we gave the definition of Schrodinger
transformation of image and extracted the boundary of object
using I-Type discrete Schrodinger transformation of gradient
image. Authors would like to acknowledge Professor. Aaron
Fenster, Robarts Research Institute, London, Canada for
providing the image of Figure 3(a). This work was partially
supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China
under Grant No. 60572040 and 60672057.
