An Adaptive Canny Edge Detector using Histogram Concavity Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The traditional Canny edge detector has some drawbacks. Gaussian filter can’t remove the impulsive noise. Moreover, it is difficult to automatically select the dual-threshold. Especially when the noise intensity increases, the dual-threshold selection method of traditional Canny detector is invalid. In this paper, we present an adaptive Canny edge detector using histogram concavity analysis. The improved detector uses switching median filter to remove the impulsive noise and then uses Gaussian filter to smooth other types of noise. It determines the dual-threshold through histogram concavity analysis. Experimental results show that the proposed detector is better than the LOG detector and traditional Canny detector in strong noise environment. The improved Canny detector can automatically select the dual-threshold.

In the recent times, image segmentation plays a critical role in medical study for taking individual decisions by physicians. This technique attempts to estimate the structure of lumen and plague segmentation on the transverse view of B-mode ultrasound images of common carotid artery (CCA). The proposed method segments both the lumen and plague, whereas only the lumen is segmented in the conven...

To evaluate atherosclerosis, common carotid artery (CCA) lumen segmentation requires outlining the intima contour on transverse view of B-mode ultrasound images. The lumen contours are automatically segmented using a morphology method in this paper. The proposed method is based on self-adaptive histogram equalization, non-linear filtering, Canny edge detector and morphology methods. Experiments...
متن کاملA Study of Contrast Enhancement by Image Fusion using Edge Detection Techniques
There are various methods available in the literature for improving the visual quality of an image. Contrast enhancement of an image by histogram equalization is one such technique. But histogram equalization alone results in data loss and also the mean brightness of the resultant output image approaches to the middle gray level. In this paper, the edge strengths of the original and the equaliz...
