A novel image edge detection algorithm based on neutrosophic set
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neutrosophic set (NS) theory is a formal framework to study the origin, nature, and scope of the neutral state. In this paper, neutrosophic set is applied in image domain and a new directional a-mean operation is defined. Based on this operation, neutrosophic set is applied into image edge detection procedure. First, the image is transformed into NS domain, which is described by three membership sets: T, I and F. Then, a directional a-mean operation is employed to reduce the indeterminacy of the image. Finally, a neutrosophic edge detection algorithm (NSED) is proposed based on the neutrosophic set and its operation to detect edge. Experiments have been conducted using numerous artificial and real images. The results demonstrate the NSED can detect the edges effectively and accurately. Particularly, it can remove the noise effect and detect the edges on both the noise-free images and the images with different levels of noises. 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The authors improved the watershed algorithms using a neutrosophic approach (i.e. they cons...
متن کاملNoisy images edge detection: Ant colony optimization algorithm
The edges of an image define the image boundary. When the image is noisy, it does not become easy to identify the edges. Therefore, a method requests to be developed that can identify edges clearly in a noisy image. Many methods have been proposed earlier using filters, transforms and wavelets with Ant colony optimization (ACO) that detect edges. We here used ACO for edge detection of noisy ima...
متن کاملA Side Scan Sonar Image Target Detection Algorithm Based on a Neutrosophic Set and Diffusion Maps
To accurately achieve side scan sonar (SSS) image target detection, a novel target detection algorithm based on a neutrosophic set (NS) and diffusion maps (DMs) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the neutrosophic subset images were obtained by transforming the input SSS image into the NS domain. Secondly, the shadowed areas of the SSS image were detected using the single gray value threshold m...
متن کاملA novel image thresholding algorithm based on neutrosophic similarity score
Image thresholding is an important field in image processing. It has been employed to segment the images and extract objects. A variety of algorithms have been proposed in this field. However, these methods perform well on the images without noise, and their results on the noisy images are not good. Neutrosophic set (NS) is a new general formal framework to study the neutralities' origin, natur...
