Editor's Notes

  • #7: Step edge:– the image intensity abruptly changes from one value to one side of the discontinuity to a different value on the opposite side.Ramp edge:– a step edge where the intensity change is not instantaneous but occurs over a finite distance.Ridge edge:– the image intensity abruptly changes value but then returns to the starting value within some short distance– generated usually by linesRoof edge:– a ridge edge where the intensity change is not instantaneous but occurs over a finite distance– generated usually by the intersection of surfaces
  • #8: Classical: gradient of pixels and succeeded in computing both magnitude and direction of gradient and used a threshold to locate edges. These methods are simple techniques that use differential masks but they lack image smoothing as a pre-processing step that made these methods more vulnerable to noise.Gaussian: Gaussian filters as a pre-processing filter. Gaussian filters proved that when applied over an image, it never creates new zero crossing and therefore it is possible to detect true edges over different scales. The use of a combination of Laplacian and Gaussian filters achieved the conditions of optimal smoothing filter in which an image should be smoothed in the frequency domain and then localized in the spatial domain. less reliable in locating true edges when the signal-to-noise ratio in an image is very high Shunck, Witkin and Bergholm based on multiple scales of segma. Wavelet: with regions of low contrast separated by high-contrast edges. Wavelets maps an image using two variables that are Scale, which either stretch or compress functions that is done in the frequency domain and Shift that corresponds to the translation function in the spatial domain. Low scale shows the abrupt change in the intensity with high frequency while high scale shows a slow change in intensity with low frequency.
  • #9: Smoothing: suppress as much noise as possible, without destroying the true edges.Enhancement: apply a filter to enhance the quality of the edges in the image (sharpening).Detection: determine which edge pixels should be discarded as noise and which should be retained (usually, thresholding provides the criterion used for detection).Localization: determine the exact location of an edge (sub-pixel resolution might be required for some applications, that is, estimate the location of an edge to better than the spacing between pixels). Edge thinning and linking are usually required in this step.
  • #13: Provides an approximation to the gradientis susceptible to noise
  • #14: less susceptible to noise. But it produces thicker edges. So edge localization is poor
  • #15: less susceptible to noise. But it produces thicker edges. So edge localization is poorEdge is several pixels wide for Sobel operator– edge is not localized properly
  • #18: Error rate: the edge detector should only respond to edges and not miss any.Good detection– The filter must have a stronger response at the edge location (x=0) than to noiseLocalization: the location of the edge as detected by the edge detector should be accurate as possible. Good Localization– The filter response must be maximum very close to x=0Response - the edge detector should not identify multiple edge pixels. Low False Positives– There should be only one maximum in a reasonable neighborhood of x=0
  • #19: The larger the filter the lower noise in the image can be accomplished but with increase error in localization.S=Gσ* I, were σ is the standard deviation.
  • #21: the purpose here is to turn the blurred edges into a sharp one. trace along the edge direction and suppress any pixel value not considered to be an edge. Gives a thin line for edgeedges responding to a certain threshold and linking them. Two thresholds are used T1 and T2 with T1 > T2. Tracking can only begin at a point on a ridge higher than T1 then continues in both directions out from that point until the height of the ridge falls below T2. This hysteresis helps to ensure that noisy edges are not broken up into multiple edge fragments.
  • #26: It uses a Gaussian filter for smoothing an image in order to reduce high frequencies in the image and then apply a laplacian filter.
  • #27: It uses a Gaussian filter for smoothing an image in order to reduce high frequencies in the image and then apply a laplacian filter.
  • #33: The fuzzification and defuzzification steps are due to non availability fuzzy hardware.Therefore, the coding of image data (fuzzification) and decoding of the results(defuzzification) are steps that make possible to process images with fuzzytechniques.After the image data are transformedfrom gray-level plane to the membership plane (fuzzification), appropriate fuzzy techniques modify the membership values.
  • #38: Subtraction to determine the width of the edge.Then, we will detect the zero crossing in an image by finding the maximum and minimum among all pixels in the neighborhood of a pixel under consideration. If the maximum is greater than zero and the minimum is smaller than zero, the pixel is a zero-crossing. To exclude false zero crossing resulting from noise, we will check whether the difference between the maximum and the minimum is greater than a threshold value. If so the pixel is on an edge, otherwise the zero-crossing is assumed to be caused by noise and suppressed.
