Two Practical Issues in Canny's Edge Detector Implementation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address two practical issues, namely smoothing factor selection and efficient implementation of thresholding with hysteresis, in implementing Canny’s edge detector. The smoothing factor of the Gaussian kernel should be chosen to maximize the discrete version of Canny’s original criteria. Thresholding with hysteresis should be implemented using an efficient connected component analysis algorithm. Following these suggestions in implementing Canny’s edge detector will in general result in optimal edge detection quality and very significant reduction in running time for large images.

Performance Evaluation of a Neural Network based Edge Detector for high-contrast images
| The performance of a neural network based edge detector for high-contrast images has been investigated both quantitatively and qualitatively. We have compared it's performance for both synthetic and natural images with those of four existing edge detection methods namely, Sobel's operator, Johnson proposed Contrast based Sobel operator, MarrHildreth's Laplacian-of-Gaussian (LoG) operator, and...
متن کاملSimple Nonlinear Dual Window Operator for Edge Detection
We propose a nonlinear edge detection technique based on a two concentric circular windows operator. We perform a preliminary selection of edge candidates using standard gradient and use the dual window operator to reveal edges as zero-crossing points of a simple difference function only depending on the minimum and maximum values in the two windows. Comparisons with other well-established tech...
متن کاملA hierarchical approach to high resolution edge contour reconstruction
EEcient edge detection algorithms such as Canny's fail near curve singularities. Moreover, the standard linking algorithms used on top of these detectors often fail because of instabilities in the tracking process (due to multiple responses to the same edge and interference of nearby edges). We propose a hierarchical approach to edge detection based on a graph stabilization method that allows b...
متن کاملAn Improved Canny Edge Detection Algorithm Based on Type-2 Fuzzy Sets
Canny's edge detection algorithm is a classical and robust method for edge detection in gray-scale images. The two significant features of this method are introduction of NMS (Non-Maximum Suppression) and double thresholding of the gradient image. Due to poor illumination, the region boundaries in an image may become vague, creating uncertainties in the gradient image. In this paper, we have pr...
متن کاملExtended ratio edge detector for despeckled SAR image evaluation
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images due to the usage of coherent imaging systems are affected by speckle. So lots of despeckling filters have been introduced up to now to suppress the speckle. Hence, objective and subjective evaluation of the denoised SAR images becomes a necessity. Thereby lots of objective evaluating estimators are introduced to evaluate the performance of despeckling filte...
