The Gaussian filter has been used extensively in image processing and computer vision for many years. In this survey paper, we discuss the various features of this operator that make it the filter of choice in the area of edge detection. Despite these desirable features of the Gaussian filter, edge detection algorithms which use it suffer from many problems. We will review several linear and no...

Edges characterize boundaries and are therefore a problem of fundamental importance in image processing. Image Edge detection significantly reduces the amount of data and filters out useless information, while preserving the important structural properties in an image. Since edge detection is in the forefront of image processing for object detection, it is crucial to have a good understanding o...

In this paper we present a parallelized algorithm for edge detection for gray scale images. The chosen method is the local threshold and boolean function based edge detection. This method differs from common edge detectors in the use of bit map patterns instead of analyzing gradient changes in the image for edge recognition. The parallelization is implemented on the GPU, exploiting its multithr...

We present a Split Canny edge detection algorithm that results in significantly reduced memory requirements, decreased latency and increased throughput with no loss in edge detection performance as compared to the original Canny algorithm. The Canny edge detector is one of the most widely used edge detection algorithms due to its superior performance. Unfortunately, not only is it computational...

One of the most fundamental features of digital image and the basic steps in image processing, analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision is the edge of an image where the preciseness and reliability of its results will affect directly on the comprehension machine system made objective world. Several edge detectors have been developed in the past decades, although no single edge detector...

Abstract: This paper presents a new general type-2 fuzzy logic method for edge detection applied to color format images. The proposed algorithm combines the methodology based on the image gradients and general type-2 fuzzy logic theory to provide a powerful edge detection method. General type-2 fuzzy inference systems are approximated using the α-planes approach. The edge detection method is te...

Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been utilized extensively to obtain high contrast medical image due to its safety which can be applied repetitively. To extract important information from an MRI medical images, an efficient image segmentation or edge detection is required. Edges are represented as important contour features in the medical image since they are the boundaries where...
