While spin-orbit torque (SOT) devices are extensively investigated due to their potential for use in neural network computation, it remains challenging to explore the hardware for neural networks. In this paper, the field-free memristive SOT switching of the CoPt single layer is used to propose a neuromorphic hardware circuit for detecting edges in images. Owing to its threefold symmetry of inversion, the polarity of SOT switching can be reversed by rotating the current by 60 degrees. Moreover, the process of current-induced SOT switching exhibits stable multi-state magnetic switching behavior, and can be controllably tuned by using the pulse of the current. As the slope of the applied ramp pulse current increased, the wave of the anomalous Hall resistance changed from a curve with normally memristive property to trigonometric, and finally to cosine. The design of the hardware circuit for a single SOT device is subsequently formulated to detect the edges in images. The results of experiments verified the capability of this device to detect the edge lines in images with high accuracy, which confirms its potential for use in the hardware of neuromorphic computing platforms. The work here provides guidance for the application of SOT-based devices to neuromorphic hardware. The CoPt single layer SOT devices can realize magnetic field-free switching, whose polarity can be reversed when the current is rotated by 60 degrees, and anomalous Hall resistance can be controlled by using different current pulses. In addition, an analog circuit is proposed to detect the edges of images based on the binary-state magnetic switching of the CoPt single layer. image

edgedetection is the prominent method to determine the discontinuities present in an image. There ex-ists an issue of loss of information and correlation during the extraction of edges in color images. To resolve it, a novel quaternion domain based Riesz fractional order directional derivative approach is pre-sented in this paper to extract more edge details in color images. The Riesz fractional masks obtained by utilizing Aitken interpolation are applied on color images in the quaternion domain for yielding the edge map as there is no need for recalculation of basis polynomials in case of the addition of any data point. The performance of the proposed quaternion based technique is analyzed on the benchmark BSDS300 and BSDS500 datasets in the terms of Figure of Merit and F-Score. The results obtained exhibit the efficiency of proposed technique over the classical and state-of-the-art edgedetection approaches. The robustness of this approach is further established by taking into account uncontrolled conditions such as noise, JPEG compression, and varying illumination as it provided more features than the classical integer-order de-tectors. Moreover, the superiority of the proposed quaternion based technique is validated for medical images as well as its application in image enhancement. & COPY;2023 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

As a basic task in image processing, edgedetection is widely used in advanced vision tasks. Traditional edgedetection algorithms, such as Canny and Sobel, start with the gradient of the image, select the place where the pixel gradient changes obviously, and complete the edge and contour extraction. It has the characteristics of fast speed and immediacies, but the extracted edge is easily affected by noise. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a filter image edge detection algorithm based on PCNN. Starting from the spectrum component information of the image, noise interference is filtered first, and then the noise is further filtered through PCNN model iteration to obtain the optimal binary image of the image, and finally the edge information is extracted through Gauss high‐pass filter. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the traditional edgedetection operators under the evaluation of PSNR, MSE, FOM and ELE, and can meet the requirements of practical tasks while maintaining the edge of image details.

Pulse coupled neural network (PCNN) was originally presented to explain the synchronous burst of the neurons in the cat visual cortex by Eckhorn. Because the parameters greatly affect the performance of PCNN, finding the optimal parameters becomes an onerous task. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a global stochastic evolutionary algorithm It tries to find optimal regions of complex searching space through the interaction of particles in the population. A self-tuning optimized method for PCNN parameters based on PSO algorithm and it was used to detect edges in a gray image automatically and successfully. The effective of the proposed method is verified by simulation results, that is to say, the quality of the image edge detection is much better and parameters are set automatically.

edgedetection is a crucial step to computer vision. Currently, there is not a single edge detector that has both efficiency and reliability. Traditional differential filter-based algorithms have the advantage of theoretical strictness, but require excessive post-processing. This paper introduces a neural network edge detector that takes advantage of moments features. It functions as a neural pattern classifier that directly estimates the posterior probability from the training data set. Two subsystems can be distinguished and different kinds of learning rules are used. For the end-user, it works as a black box that directly transforms raw images into the edge maps so no complicated postprocessing is required. Tests on both simulated and real images showed the proposed neural network edge detector is superior to traditional operators.

In this paper, a dedicated edgedetection processor architecture based on field programmable gate arrays is presented. The architecture is an optimization of the Sobel edgedetection filter, specifically focusing on the reduction of the computation time. The proposed architecture reduces the number of calculations required for the edgedetection process by enhancing the data reuse, i.e. minimizing the frequency of memory access. Direct hardware implementation as proposed by previous works require most image pixels to be read from memory up to six times and transferred into the Sobel edgedetection processor. In our work, we try to reduce the number of pixels read therefore affecting tremendous potential speed suitable for the embedded video processing applications.

In this work a new method for image edge detection based on multilayer perceptron (MLP) is proposed. The method is based on updating a MLP to learn a set of contours drawn on a 3×3 grid and then take advantage of the network generalization capacity to detect different edge details even for very noisy images. The method is applied first to Gray scale images and can be easily extended to color ones. Simulations on synthetic and real image show much promised results in term of precision and localization. Moreover the method works well even for very low contrast images for which other edge operators fail.

In this paper, the hardware implementation of an imageedge detector based on fractional order filters is presented. Fractional order filters excel over their integer order counterparts in their noise robustness and in detecting the high frequency details of images, which is very useful for biomedical image processing. The fractional order parameter also offers an extra degree of freedom in designing the fractional order filter to achieve higher efficiency than integer ones. The hardware design proposed exploits the single precision floating point arithmetic, IEEE 754 representation, to have precision in implementation. The filters were applied to standard images as well as an MRI scan as a biomedical image processing application. The hardware results obtained are the same as the Matlab simulations. The design is implemented on VIRTEX 5 XC5VSX50T-2FF1136 FPGA kit achieving a clock frequency of 170.1 MHz.

Considering the non-linear properties of the human visual system, many non-linear operators and models have been developed, particularly the logarithmic image processing (LIP) model proposed by Jourlin and Pinoli, which has been proved to be physically justified in several laws of the human visual system and has been successfully applied in image processing areas. Recently, several modifications based on this logarithmic mathematical framework have been presented, such as parameterized logarithmic image processing (FLIP), pseudo-logarithmic image processing, homomorphic logarithmic image processing. In this paper, a new single parameter logarithmic model for image processing with an adaptive parameter-based Sobel edgedetection algorithm is presented. On the basis of analyzing the distributive law, the subtractive law, and the isomorphic property of the PLIP model, the five parameters in PLIP are replaced by a single parameter to ensure the completeness of the model and physical constancy with the nature of an image, and then an adaptive parameter-based Sobel edgedetection algorithm is proposed. By using an image noise estimation method to evaluate the noise level of image, the adaptive parameter in the single parameter LIP model is calculated based on the noise level and grayscale value of a corresponding image area, followed by the single parameter LIP-based Sobel operation to overcome the noise-sensitive problem of classical LIP-based Sobel edgedetection methods, especially in the dark area of an image, while retaining edge sensitivity. Compared with the classical LIP and FLIP model, the given single parameter LIP achieves satisfactory results in noise suppression and edge accuracy.

Aimed at the characteristic of metallographical image, a specific image, and based on the multi-structural element in the mathematical morphology, a new method of edgedetection is proposed in this paper to deal properly with the double- boundary and the inaccuracy of the boundary localization in the image in the edgedetection carried by the traditional edgedetection method, such as Roberts, Sobel, Prewitt, Log, Canny and so on. The design of the multi-structural element and the construction of the suitable morphology operator are emphasized in this paper. The experimental results indicated that this method is very effective, and is better than the traditional edgedetection method.
