Abstract

Edge detection is an important process in low level image processing. But many proposed methods for edge detection are not very robust to the image noise and are not flexible for different images. To solve the both problems, an algorithm is proposed which eliminate the noise by mean shift algorithm in advance, and then adaptively determine the double thresholds based on gradient histogram and minimum interclass variance, With this algorithm, it can fade out almost all the sensitive noise and calculate the both thresholds for different images without necessity to setup any parameter artificially, and choose edge pixels by fuzzy algorithm.
