Edge detection always influenced by the noise of original image, therefore need some methods to eliminate them in advance, and the Mean Shift algorithm has the smooth function which suit for this purpose, so adopt it to fade out the unimportant information and the sensitive noise portions. Above all, we use the Canny algorithm to pick up the contour of the objects we focus on. And, take tests and get better result than the former sole Canny algorithm. This combination method of Mean Shift algorithm and Canny algorithm is suitable for the edge detection processing.

Edge detection is very significant in low level image processing. However, majority edge detection methods are not only effective enough cause of the noise points' influence, even not flexible enough to different input images. In order to sort these problems, in this paper an algorithm is presented that has an extra noise reduction stage at first, and then automatically selects the both thresholds depending on gradient amplitude histogram and intra class minimum variance. Using this algorithm, can fade out almost all of the sensitive noise points, and calculate the propose thresholds for different images without setting up the practical parameters artificially, and then choose edge pixels by fuzzy algorithm. In finally, get the better result than the former Canny algorithm.

Edge detection in image processing and computer vision is one of the most fundamental operations. Canny edge detection algorithm has excellent performance and is currently widely used. However, it is difficult to process the algorithm in real-time because the algorithm is complex. In this study, the equations required in the algorithm were simplified to facilitate hardware implementation, and the calculation speed was increased by using a parallel structure. In particular, the size and management of local buffers were selected in consideration of parallel processing and filter size so that data could be processed without bottlenecks. It was designed in verilog and implemented in FPGA to verify operation and performance.

In this paper, the hybrid function by local scale control is proposed to detect the optimal edges from blurred images. In the case of image capturing, some blurring is occurred by the characteristics of the illumination and the reflected light. During processing the blurred image, it is difficult to detect perfect edges. This algorithm proposed a new hybrid function which is merged Gaussian function and the second derivative of Gaussian function. And it detects the optimal edges applying directional edge detection by Canny algorithm as the scale factor of $\sigma$ in the given local mask has been changed after convolving the hybrid function for input image. In the result, the performance is confirmed that this algorithm is better than Sobel, Robert and Canny edge detector by analyzing the some test images. And the results is obtained 0.2 ㏈ ~ 14 ㏈ of PSNR than those conventional method.

This paper proposes the efficient preprocessing method based on curvelet transform for edge enhancement in image. The propose method is generated the edge map by using the Canny algorithm to wavelet transform, which is the sub-step of the curvelet transform. In order to improve the part of edge feature, the selective sharpening according to the generate edge map is applied. In experimental result, the propose method achieves that the enhancement of edge feature is better than conventional methods. This leads that peak to signal noise ratio, edge intensity are improvement on average about 1.92, 1.12dB respectively.

영상에서의 경계선 추출은 원 영상의 노이즈에 의해 크게 영향을 받는다. 따라서 먼저 그 노이즈들을 제거할만한 어떤 방법들이 필요하다. Mean Shift 알고리즘은 이러한 목적에 부합되는 유연한 함수로서, 별로 중요하지 않은 정보와 민감한 노이즈 부분을 점점 제거하는데 알맞다. 여기서는 Canny 알고리즘을 사용하여 중점으로 하는 영상에서의 윤곽선을 찾아낸다. 그리고 테스트 하고 이전의 유일한 Canny 알고리즘 보다 결과가 좋음을 알아낸다.

Rectangular shape detection plays an important role in many image recognition systems. However, it requires continued research for its improved performance. In this study, we propose a strong rectangular shape detection algorithm, which combines the canny edge and line detection algorithms based on the perpendicularity and parallelism of a rectangle. First, we use the canny edge detection algorithm in order to obtain an image edge map. We then find the edge of the contour by using the connected component and find each edge contour from the edge map by using a DP (douglas-peucker) algorithm, and convert the contour into a polyline segment by using a DP algorithm. Each of the segments is compared with each other to calculate parallelism, whether or not the segment intersects the perpendicularity intersecting corner necessary to detect the rectangular shape. Using the perpendicularity and the parallelism, the four best line segments are selected and whether a determined the rectangular shape about the combination. According to the result of the experiment, the proposed rectangular shape detection algorithm strongly showed the size, location, direction, and color of the various objects. In addition, the proposed algorithm is applied to the license plate detecting and it wants to show the strength of the results.

Video object segmentation is an important component for object-based video coding scheme such as MPEG-4. In this paper, a robust algorithm for segmentation of moving objects in video sequences and VOP(Video Object Planes) extraction is presented. The points of this paper are detection, of an accurate object boundary by associating moving object edge with spatial object edge and generation of VOP. The algorithm begins with the difference between two successive frames. And after extracting difference image, the accurate moving object edge is produced by using the Canny algorithm and morphological operation. To enhance extracting performance, we app]y the morphological operation to extract more accurate VOP. To be specific, we apply morphological erosion operation to detect only accurate object edges. And moving object edges between two images are generated by adjusting the size of the edges. This paper presents a robust algorithm implementation for fast moving object detection by extracting accurate object boundaries in video sequences.

The extraction and recognition of shipping container's identifier is difficult since the scale or the location of identifiers are not fixed-form and input images have some external noises. In this paper, based on these facts, first, edges are detected from input images using canny masking, and regions of container's Identifiers are extracted by applying horizontal and vertical histogram method to canny masked images. We use a fuzzy thresholding method to binaries the extracted container's identifier regions, and contour tracking algorithm to extract individual identifiers. In experimental results, we confirmed that the proposed method is superior In performance.

As color was used for formative language since a human activity was beginning, all the symptoms in the world that the human eye can see is present. In this paper, we identify Korea traditional color harmony for extracted key frames from scene change detection. Traditional color is classified as 5-Jung-color and 5-Kan-color, and determine whether to harmony. Red, blue, yellow, black, and white, called 5-Jung-color and pink, blue, purple, sulfur, and green, called the 5-Kan-color was identified. First, we extract edge using Canny algorithm. And, we are labeling and clustering colors around the edge. Finally, we identify the traditional color using identification method of traditional color harmony. The proposed study in this paper has been proven through experiments.
