The purpose of edge detection in general is to significantly reduce the amount of data in an image, while preserving the structural properties to be used for further image processing. Several algorithms exists, and this worksheet focuses on a particular one developed by John F. Canny (JFC) in 1986 [2]. Even though it is quite old, it has become one of the standard edge detection methods and it ...

The Canny edge detector is widely used in computer vision to locate sharp intensity changes and to nd object boundaries in an image The Canny edge detector classi es a pixel as an edge if the gradient magnitude of the pixel is larger than those of pixels at both its sides in the direction of maximum intensity change In this paper we will show that de ning edges in this manner causes some obviou...

The Canny algorithm is a well known edge detector that is widely used in the previous processing stages in several algorithms related to computer vision. An alternative, the LIP-Canny algorithm, is based on a robust mathematical model closer to the human vision system, obtaining better results in terms of edge detection. In this work we describe LIP-Canny algorithm under the perspective from it...

In this paper, a hardware system for adaptive Canny edge detection algorithm is designed and simulated for a 128 pixel, 8-bit monochrome linescan camera. The system is designed to detect objects as they move along a conveyor belt in a manufacturing environment, the camera observe dark objects on a light conveyor belt . Here adaptive Canny algorithm is used to increase the accuracy of output obj...

Aiming at the disadvantages of edge detail loss and false edges in conventional Canny algorithm, this paper proposes an optimized Canny edge detection algorithm for edge detection of core image by combining self-adaption smooth filtering and self-adaptive threshold value. The algorithm, which retains the advantages of high signal to noise ratio, accurate positioning, single edge single response...

2000, Optical Engineering, 38, 2894–2899 ) In order to improve the performance of a linear auto-associator (which is a neural network model), we explore the use of several pre-processing techniques. The gist of our approach is to represent each pattern by one or several pre-processed (i.e. filtered) versions of the original pattern (plus the original pattern). First, we compare the performance ...

Monitoring of human activity requires people to be tracked as they move through the scene. Every tracking method requires object detection. We proposed a new method for detection and tracking of multiple moving objects under static background, based on motion detection, background subtraction using canny edge detection with edge difference between consecutives frames. Keywords—motion detection;...
