Abstract
Edge detection is an essential preprocessing for most image processing application, and there are several existing detection methods such as Sobel, Roberts, Laplacian, LoG(Laplacian of Gaussian) operators, etc. Those existing edge detection methods have not given satisfactory results since they do not offer enough pixel brightness change in low light level environment. Therefore, in this study new algorithms using brightness transfer function in the preprocessing and for edge detection applying standard deviation and average-weighted local masks are proposed. In addition, the performance of proposed algorithms was evaluated in comparison with the existing edge detection methods such as Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt, Laplacian, LoG operators.
