The boundary of an object image in a digital image is distorted by noise or other elements of the system that mix with the image during transmission. In this paper, it is proposed that the object boundary be detected and exactly divided for optimal edgedetection method. After bringing up the object boundary by applying adaptive morphology on the threshold of the input image, the optimal edge is detected using wavelet-cellular neural network (CNN). The proposed method is compared with the conventional Sobel method used as an edgedetection algorithm. The proposed algorithm is confirmed to be superior than the conventional methods.

Classical edgedetection method has great limitation, because the noise contained in the image has significant influence on the results, while the speed of edgedetection and whether the edge can be detected or not are also the concerned problems. This paper proposed two edgedetection methods based on the statistical features, which can accurately detect the edges and suppress the impact of the noise on the results, while the edge has a good consistency. Extensive testing results have shown great potential on our novel method.

An efficient edgedetection model based on a two-stage procedure is presented. The first stage consists of a linear transformation of an artificially created signal that has the property of detecting step edges irrespective of the distribution of the intervals between two consecutive edges. It is demonstrated that the Hilbert transform possesses this property and also outperforms the derivative operation in the detection of step edges in the presence of noise. The second stage consists of an appropriate mapping of the filtered results into edgedetection primitives. Practical confirmation of the results is given by means of examples.< >

Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is an effective device to realize real-time parallel processing of vast amounts of video data because of the fine-grain reconfigurable structures. This paper presents a kind of parallel processing construction of Sobel edgedetection enhancement algorithm, which can quickly get the result of one pixel in only one clock periods. The algorithm is designed with a FPGA chip called XC3S200- 5ft256, and it can process 1024×1024×8 Gray Scale image successfully. The design can locate the edge of the gray image quickly and efficiently.

This paper presents a computer algorithm of detecting edges from a grey scale image with FitzHugh-Nagumo type excitable elements discretely spaced at image grid points. A previous edgedetection algorithm utilising the elements is not applicable to darker intensity areas surrounded by brighter ones; the algorithm fails in detecting edges in the areas. In order to solve the problem in detecting edges in relatively dark areas, we proposed to utilise an intensity inverted image as well as its original one. The proposed algorithm firstly provides a tentative edge map from the original image, and simultaneously provides an additional tentative edge map from the inverted image. Then, the algorithm provides a final edge map by merging the two edge maps. We quantitatively confirm performance of the proposed algorithm, in comparison with that of the previous one and that of the Canny algorithm for an artificial grey scale image not having noise. We furthermore confirm robustness and convergence of the proposed algorithm for a noisy image and real ones. These results shows that the performance of the proposed algorithm is much higher than the previous one and is comparable with the Canny algorithm for a noise-less image, and the proposed algorithm converges for all of the images. However, the proposed algorithm is vulnerable for additive noise, in comparison with the Canny algorithm and the anisotropic diffusion algorithm.

A reliable detection method for X-ray image of wood with defects based on the multi-fractal analysis was presented in the paper. Adopting singular Holder index and multi-fractal spectrum theory and computing the singular value and multi-fractal spectrum of each pixel point of imageedges of wood defects in order that the images were identified easily. According to the experimental results, the given algorithm can reduce unimportant edge information, while it also keeps some important detail information of the image well by correction of the measure. It is useful and current method for image processing. This study lays a foundation for automatic recognition. It is significant for the modern wood processing and utilization.

To improve the image edge detection capability, this paper presents an image edge detection method based on the direction feature of fuzzy entropy. Firstly, the proposed method operates the fuzzy membership function and fuzzy entropy function for achieving a neighborhood fuzzy entropy feature space from the image feature to enhance the fuzzy edge contrast, and defines twelve valid edge direction structures in the 3×3 neighborhood of the feature space. Then it extracts the valid direction structural information arrays of every pixel point, and combines the direction structure measurement arrays to make non-maxima suppression. Finally the proposed method implements an adaptive threshold to estimate and determine imageedges. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed method has better performance in the image edge detection with more image detail information.

This paper presents a novel image edge detection method based on a simplified pulse coupled neural network with anisotropic interconnections (PCNNAI) by applying an anisotropic linking mechanism. PCNNAI utilizes the anisotropic linking mechanism to create an adaptive synaptic weight matrix to achieve the anisotropic interconnection model among neurons. Therefore, the neurons corresponding to edge and non-edge pixels will receive different feedback signal from neighborhood. Due to the PCNN structure the edges will be detected by different internal activity of edge neurons and non-edge neurons. Comparing with conventional PCNN edgedetection methods, PCNNAI simplifies the system structure and the outputs are controllable, meanwhile PCNNAI also achieves more accurate results than the classical imageedge detectors. Experimental results show that PCNNAI is effective at image edge detection.

A new scheme for image edge detection based spatial general autoregressive model (SGAR) is proposed in this work, which takes into consideration the nonlinearity at both edges and non-edges. First the SGAR model is derived which fuses both linear and non-linear spatial autoregressive model in one expression and whereafter the spatial relation of a lattice site with its neighbors is adaptively learnt by using a SGAR model with a robust parameter estimator named GM estimator. Then the edgeimage is produced by thresholding the residual image which is equal to the difference between the original image and the prediction image. Finally, experiments are carried out on a worldwide dataset to verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme. Experiment results also indicate that the future works need to be carried out to further improve practicability of the proposed scheme.
