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...

in recent years due to improvements of technology within automobile industry, design process of advanced driver assistance systems for collision avoidance and traffic management has been investigated in both academics and industrial levels. detection of traffic signs is an effective method to reach the mentioned aims. in this paper a new intelligent driver assistance system based on traffic sig...

This paper proposed an edge detection scheme which is deduced from Fresnel diffraction. Analysis in this paper shows that Fresnel convolution kernel function performs well on edge enhancement when images are transformed into complex functions. Due to its mathematical complexity, the method is simplified into a linear convolution filter. The new edge detector is designed based on the simplified ...

An edge may be defined as a set of connected pixels that forms a boundary between two disjoints regions. Edge detection is basically, a method of segmenting an image into regions of discontinuity. Edge detection plays an important role in digital image processing and practical aspects of our life. .In this paper we studied various edge detection techniques as Prewitt, Robert, Sobel, Marr Hildri...

background common carotid artery (cca) ultrasound with measurement of intima-media thickness (imt) is a safe and noninvasive technique for assessing subclinical atherosclerosis and determining cardiovascular risks. moreover, the pattern of wall thickening in the brachial artery (ba) is rather diffuse compared to the carotid artery and may be a more sensitive indicator of long-term systemic expo...

Edge is a basic feature of an image. Edges can be defined as boundary between two different regions in an image. Edge detection refers to the process of identifying and locating sharp discontinuities in an image. Edge detection process significantly reduces the amount of data and filters out useless information, while preserving the essential structural properties in an image. .In this paper we...

This paper presents a hybrid approach to face detection and feature extraction. The remarkable advancement in technology has enhanced the use of more accurate and precise methods to detect faces. This paper presents a combination of three well known algorithms ViolaJones face detection framework, Neural Networks and Canny edge detection method to detect face in static images. The proposed work ...

Road is a means of access for humans to move from one place another, connecting and serving as transportation infrastructure. At all times, asphalt roads are passed by road users, including small, medium, large vehicles. However, conditions not always smooth often there damages in certain parts the road. Factors such water, weather, temperature changes, unstable soil conditions, air temperature...
