As an important technology of digital image processing, ED (edgedetection) has always been a research hotspot in the field of computer vision and image processing. Several commonly used ED methods mostly determine whether a pixel is located on the boundary of an object by detecting the state of each pixel and its neighborhood. Although these methods are simple and sensitive to noise, the edges will be broken. In this paper, an ED algorithm based on mathematical morphology is proposed. By studying the multi-scale ED algorithm of various structural elements and morphological operation combinations, an algorithm with good noise filtering performance and accurate imageedge positioning is designed. The research results show that the optimized algorithm is obviously superior to other algorithms, and the detected edges are clear and rich. The weighted adaptive morphological ED algorithm based on multi-scale and multi-structure constructed in this paper is robust to noise and blurred images, so that these thin edges and other obvious edges can be retained after the images are blurred or disturbed by noise. This achievement has positive significance for image processing.

This paper presents an implementation of a dedicated processor for image edge detection on field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). The processor architecture is originally a Sobel based edgedetection filter optimized to minimize memory utilization, redundant calculations and hence, overall logic resources used to implement the processor on FPGA. The optimization is achieved by exploiting the FPGAs' high parallelism, flexibility and I/O bandwidth. Results show that our optimized processor architecture uses 22% less Adaptive Lookup Tables (ALUTs) 40% less dedicated logic registers and 10% overall logic resources utilization reduction over basic architecture in [1] when implemented on Stratix II EP2S60. The optimization makes the processor feasible to be used for applications like embedded video processing.

Medical images edgedetection is one of the most important pre-processing steps in medical image segmentation and 3D reconstruction. In this paper, an edgedetection algorithm using an uninorm-based fuzzy morphology is proposed. It is shown that this algorithm is robust when it is applied to different types of noisy images. It improves the results of other well-known algorithms including classical algorithms of edgedetection, as well as fuzzy-morphology based ones using the ¿ukasiewicz t-norm and umbra approach. It detects detailed edge features and thin edges of medical images corrupted by impulse or gaussian noise. Moreover, some different objective measures have been used to evaluate the filtered results obtaining for our approach better values than for other approaches.

image edge detection is a fundamental process in computer vision. imageedges represent the major fraction of information in an image. Traditional edge-detection techniques focus on the gradient calculation method. In this paper, for the first time, the statistical pattern recognition method is used to detect the edge after the real-time image was processed via the median filtering method and implemented on FPGA. In comparison to the Sobel algorithm, the proposed method has superior anti-noise capability.

image segmentation has attracted the attention of researcher for many decades. Different approaches have been developed in order to find the solution in many different segmentation situations. In this paper we propose a novel edgedetection approach aimed to generate useful information to achieve segmentation. The proposed method is based on analysis of the information provided by the time matrix generated from a pulse coupled neural network, PCNN. This information represents gray level differences among the pixel images. Two different schemes for edgedetection are presented. The first scheme is developed to generate edges from coarse images and the second one to deal with more detailed edges. Similarity of this method with a previous developed method based on fuzzy edge level detection is also covered in the paper. Final results show that the proposed method may be used as a new alternative to define imageedges of different levels for further analysis.

Recently there have been different methods to evaluate the edgedetection of an image; most of them measure the similarity with respect to a reference image. In this paper we show the design and tests of a new method for edge detectors evaluation consisting of an interval type-2 fuzzy inference system, which inputs correspond to a combination of parameters that represent the most influential characteristics of an edgeimage according on previous experience. Each of these selected parameters was selected from existing methods for evaluation of edgedetection. This new method is able to evaluate any edgedetection process, including the traditional and fuzzy methods, but it was applied in synthetic images because of the need of an edge reference image for the input parameters calculation.

To the problem of the existing multi-scale edgedetection methods couldn't tackle de-noising and edge detail preservation of images, the article proposed a multi-scale edgedetection algorithm which took soft threshold method to implement detail enhancement and noise reduction of the true color image. Firstly, obtaining the true color images at different scales through wavelet multi-scale edgedetection algorithm, then based on the improved soft threshold filter function, selecting appropriate threshold of the obtained imageedges to perform noise reduction while enhance the edge details of the reservation; and finally, carrying out the weighted 2-norm fusion of edges of different-scale-image. Experiment results show that the algorithm can make full use of color and gradient information of true color images to effectively suppress noise, enhance the imageedge details.

In order to be better for color image edge detection,this paper analyze the existing problems of gradient algorithm with HSV color image characteristics and the separation by color hue, saturation and brightness information and proposes a color image edge detection method based on gradient extreme value of the local region. The algorithm extracts the edge pixels directly in the local area boundary detection window, first calculate the distance of hue, saturation and brightness between two pixels and then take their sum as the final color distance. The experimental results indicate that this method could obtain more real edges with better continuity.

edgedetection is one of the most challenging tasks in image processing. A scheme for edgedetection of images based on multi-scale morphology is presented in this paper. Mathematical morphology is a mathematic tool to analyze the image based on the structuring element. The morphological edgedetection operator is non-linear difference operator. The results due to the proposed method have been found reasonably satisfactory. It proves that a morphological operation with a scalable structuring element can extract features more exactly.

In the world of bigdata, Hadoop has become the major platform for storage and processing. Due to advancement in technology in the area of remote sensing, tremendous growth in data has been witnessed. In this paper, we have conducted experiments and compared two methods in which edgedetection of satellite images is performed on Hadoop. Since, edgedetection is one of the prime steps in the field of image processing and is being used for object detection in the image, we have targeted this basic algorithm of image processing for our experiments. In earlier research for edgedetection on Hadoop, SequenceFiles were used to store and process images. In our experiments, we have leveraged distributed processing of Hadoop by logically splitting the file on HDFS and performing edgedetection in distributed manner. The experiments were performed on Amazon AWS Elastic MapReduce (EMR) cluster using different satellite images varying from 10MB-200MB. The paper describes the comparison of the two approaches.
