Abstract
Edges represent significant boundary information between objects or classes. Various methods, which are based on differential operation, such as Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Canny, and etc. have been proposed and widely used. The methods are based on a linear convolution of mask with pre-assigned coefficients. In this paper, we propose an edge detection method based on Dempster-Shafer's evidence theory to evaluate edgeness of the given pixel. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown through experimental results on several test images and compared with conventional methods.
