In this paper, we propose a method of edge detection for noisy image. The proposed method uses a progressive filter for noise reduction and a Sobel operator for edge detection. The progressive filter combines a median filter and a modified rational filter. The proposed method for noise reduction adjusts rational filter direction according to an edge in the image which is obtained by median filtering. Our method effectively attenuates the noise while preserving the image details. Edge detection is performed by a Sobel operator. This operator can be implemented by integer operation and is therefore relatively fast. Our proposed method not only preserves edge, but also reduces noise in uniform region. Thus, edge detection is well performed. Our proposed method could improve results using further developed Sobel operator. Experimental results show that our proposed method has better edge detection with correct positions than those by existing median and rational filtering methods for noisy image.

에지검출은 영상인식의 첫 단계임을 동시에 영상인식의 성능을 좌우하는 아주 중요한 단계이다. 기존의 기울기연산자나 표면접합에 의한 에지검출과 달리 본 논문에서는 에지의 영역정보를 이용한 에지검출 알고리즘을 제시한다. 먼저 에지의 적합한 위치, 에지의 두께 그리고 에지의 길이에 대한 정의를 제시하고, 제시된 에지정의를 기본으로한 12개의 에지검출 윈도우와 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 12개의 윈도우는 모든 형태의 에지를 추출할 수 있는 에지검출윈도우로써 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있는 기울기 연산자나 0점교차 연산자인 LoG 연산자보다 좋은 에지검출 성능을 보여 주었다.

After detecting the edge which is applying the morphological operators to the hybrid FCNN, we could analyze and compare. The hybrid FCNN is completely removed to the noise in the image, and worked in order to obtain the result image which is closest to the original image. Also, the morphological operator is applied to the image as the method in order to detect more good the edge than the conventional edge. FCNN which is the pipeline type is completely suitable to detecting the image processing as well as the hardware size. In this paper. we would make the structure elements of the morphological operator the variable template and the static template, and compare with the edge enhancement of two images. After being the result which is applying the variable template morphological operator and the static template morphological operator to the image, we could know that the edge images applying the variable template is superior in a edge enhancement side.

An implementation of modified stereo matching using efficient belief propagation (BP) algorithm is presented in this paper. We do recommend the use of the simple sobel, prewitt edge operator. The application of B band sobel edge operator over image demonstrates result with somewhat noisy (distinct border). When we adopt the only MRF + BP algorithm, however, borders cannot be distinguished due to that the message functions in the BP algorithm is just the mechanism which passes energy data to the only large gap of each Message functions In order to address the abovementioned disadvantageous phenomenon, we use the sobel edge operator + MRF + BP algorithm to distinguish the border that is located between the similar message data. Using edge information, the result shows that our proposed process diminishes the propagation of wrong probabilistic information. The enhanced result is due to that our proposed method effectively reduced errors incurred by ambiguous scene properties.

This paper presents a method to evaluate the performance of subpixel localization operators using target image data. Subpixel localization of edges is important to extract the precise shape of objects from images. In this study, each target image was designed to provide reference lines and edges to which the localization operators can be applied. We selected two types of moment-based operators: Gray-level Moment (GM) operator and Spatial Moment (SM) operator for comparison. The original edge localization operators with kernel size 5 are tested and their extended versions with kernel size 7 are also tested. Target images were collected with varying Camera-to-Object Distance (COD). From the target images, reference lines are estimated and edge profiles along the estimated reference lines are accumulated. Then, evaluation of the performance of edge localization operators was performed by comparing the locations calculated by each operator and by superimposing them on edge profiles. Also, enhancement of edge localization by increasing the kernel size was also quantified. The experimental result shows that the SM operator whose kernel size is 7 provides higher accuracy than other operators implemented in this study.

The edges of an image hold much of the information in that image. The edges tell where objects are, their shape and size, and something about their texture. An edge is where the intensity of an image moves from a low value to a high value. We introduce the edge detection using the differential operator with Sobel operator and describe a nonparametric Wilcoxon test based on statistical hypothesis testing for the detection of edges. This paper proposes an efficient edge detection using Van der Waerden's statistic in original and noisy images. We use the threshold determined by specifying significance level a and an edge-height parameter. Comparison with our statistical test and Sobel operator shows that Van der Waerden method perform more effectively in both noisy and noise-free images.

장면 텍스트 추출은 현대 스마트 시대에서 쏟아져 나오는 다양한 영상 기반 응용에 중요한 정보를 제공하기 때문에 중요하다. 기본적인 MSER(Maximally Stable Extremal Regions) 추출 후에 캐니 연산자를 이용하여 경계를 강화시키는 Edge-Enhanced MSER은 텍스트 추출 측면에서 뛰어난 성능을 보인다. 하지만 캐니 연산자의 임계값 설정에 따라 Edge-Enhanced MSER의 결과영상이 다르게 나타나므로 임계값 설정을 계산하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 캐니 연산자의 임계값을 설정하는 방법 중 히스토그램의 중앙값을 이용하여 경계를 추출하고 이를 Edge-Enhanced MSER에 적용한 AEMSER(Adaptive Edge-enhanced MSER)을 제안한다. 이 방법은 명확한 경계에 대해서만 영역을 추출하기 때문에 기존의 방법보다 더 좋은 결과영상을 얻을 수 있다.

This paper discusses an approach for detecting a new edge in color images. The color image is to be represented by a vector field, and the color image edges are detected as differences in the local vector statistics. This method is based on the calculation for the vector angle between two adjacent pixels. Unlike Euclidean distance in RGB space, the vector angle distinguishes the differences in chromaticity, independent of luminance or intensity. The proposed approach can easily accommodate concepts, such as variable template edge detection, as well as the latest developments in vector order statistics for color image processing. In this paper, it is used not a conventional fixed template operator but a variable template operator The variable template is implemented and experimental results for digital color images are included.

본 논문은 에지개선 필터들의 통계적인 특성과 에지 검출을 위한 전처리 연산자로서의 효용성을 분석한다. 분석 대상인 에지개선 필터들로는 비교와 선택을 수행하는 CS 필터, Hachimura와 Kuwahara가 개발한 HK 필터, 그리고 선택성 평균을 출력시키는 SA필터이며 이 필터들은 잡음 제거 능력 및 손상된 에지를 계단 모양의 에지로 개선시키는 역할을 수행하기 때문에 에지 검출기 사용전에 잡음화된 영상을 전처리하는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있다. 수치해석을 통한 통계적 분석이 에지개선 필터들의 잡음 제거능력을 살펴보기 위하여 수행되며 에지 검출에 대한 전처리 필터링의 영향은 수치해석 방법을 통하여 얻어진 오류확률들을 중심으로 분석된다. 또한 백색잡음에 의하여 손상된 영상에 필터들을 사용하여 전처리를 수행한 후 Sobel 연산자와 LoG 연산자를 사용하여서 에지 검출전에 전처리기로서 사용된 에지개선 필터들은 후처리기로 사용된 에지 검출기의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다.

Edge detection considers the important technical details of digital image processing. Many edge detection operators already perform edge detection in digital color imaging. In this study, the edge of many real color images that represent the type of digital image was detected using a new operator in the least square approximation method, which is a type of numerical method. The Linear Fitting algorithm is computationally more expensive compared to the Canny, LoG, Sobel, Prewitt, HIS, Fuzzy, Parametric, Synthetic and Vector methods, and Robert' operators. The results showed that the new method can detect an edge in a digital color image with high efficiency compared to standard methods used for edge detection. In addition, the suggested operator is very useful for detecting the edge in a digital color image.
