Edge detection is used in many applications such as image analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision. Existing edge detection methods, there is such Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, and LoG(Laplacian of Gaussian). In the conventional edge detection method, edge detection is insufficient because the change of the pixel brightness is small when the original image is in low illumination. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a function to convert the pixel brightness of low illumination image to solve this problem. And it was compared by applying the conventional methods Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, LoG(Laplacian of Gaussian) to determine the performance of the pixel brightness transform function.

Edge detection is one of image processing techniques applied for a variety of purposes in a number of areas and it is used as a necessary pretreatment process in most applications. Detect this edge has been conducted in various fields at domestic and international. In the conventional edge detection methods, there are Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and LoG, etc using a fixed weights mask. Since conventional edge detection methods apply the images to the fixed weights mask, the edge detection characteristics appear somewhat insufficient. Therefore in this study, to complement this, preprocessing using gray-level transformation function and algorithm finding final edge using maximum and minimum value of estimated mask by local mask are proposed. And in order to assess the performance of proposed algorithm, it was compared with a conventional Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt and LoG edge detection methods.

In the conventional edge detection methods, there are Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and LoG, etc using a fixed weights mask. Since conventional edge detection methods apply the images to the fixed weights mask, the edge detection characteristics appear somewhat insufficient. Therefore in this study, an algorithm for detecting the edge is proposed by applying the cross mask based on the center pixel and up, down, left and right mask based on the surrounding pixels of center pixel in order to solve these problems. And in order to assess the performance of proposed algorithm, it was compared with a conventional Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt and LoG edge detection methods.

In this digital information era, utilization of images are essential for various media, and the edge is an important characteristical information of an object in images that includes the size, location, direction and etc. Many domestic and international studies are being conducted in order to detect these edge. Existing edge detection methods include Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Laplacian, LoG and etc. which apply fixed weight value. As these existing edge detection methods apply fixed weight mask to the image, edge detection characteristic appears slightly insufficient. Accordingly, in order to supplement these problems, this study used bottom-hat transformation from mathematical morphology and opening operation in improving the image and proposed an algorithm that detects for the edge after calculating mask-based gradient. And to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, a comparison was made against the existing Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt, Laplacian, LoG edge detection methods, in illustrating visual images, and similarities were compared by calculating the MSE value based on the standard of each image.

본 논문에서는 세라믹을 비파괴 검사하여 얻어진 영상에서 세라믹의 결함을 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 비파괴 검사를 통하여 얻어진 영상의 윤곽선을 추출하기 위하여 Prewitt 마스크를 적용한다. 그리고 비파괴 검사 영상의 잡음 비율을 최소화하기 위해 결함이 겹쳐진 윤곽선을 기준으로 감마 처리를 수행하고 임계치 이진화 기법을 적용하여 구간별로 결함을 검출한다. 구간별 결함을 통합하여 결함을 검출한다. 검출한 결함에 Grassfire 기법을 적용하여 미세한 잡음을 제거한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 비파괴 검사에 적용되는 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 제안된 방법이 기존의 결함 검출 방법보다 결함 검출에 있어서 효과적인 것을 확인하였다.

Edge has been utilized in various application fields with development of technique of digital image processing. In conventional edge detection methods, there are some methods using mask including Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and Laplacian operator. Those methods are that implement is simple but generates errors of edge detection in images added AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise). Therefore, to compensate the defect of those methods, in this paper, an edge detection algorithm using modified mask is proposed, and it showed superior edge detection property in AWGN.

An edge includes information of objects such as magnitude, orientation, and location. Conventional edge detection methods to detect those edge are methods using Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Laplacian operator. Existing methods use fixed weighted mask to detect edges, and their edge detection characteristics are insufficient. Therefore, to remedy weakness of conventional methods, in this paper, an edge detection algorithm using weight with standard deviation and thresholds is proposed.

In this paper, we have discussed three-type median filters(SQUARE, CROSS, X-SHAPE) that preserving edge in an original image while reducing random noise was introduced for image enhancement and edge detection on radar image. Since radar image have a number of parts of curve, we compared results produced by edge detection operater proposed for improving the parts of curve with results of using the existing edge detection methods, such as Roberts, Sobel, Prewitt, Laplacian and Kirsch.

This paper proposes a new image enhancement method for an infrared thermal image. The proposed method uses both Laplacian and Prewitt edge detectors. Without a visible light, it uses an infrared image for the edge detection. The method subtracts contour images from the infrared thermal image. It results black contours of objects in the infrared thermal image. That makes the objects in the infrared thermal image distinguished clearly. The proposed method is implemented using C language in an embedded Linux system for a high-speed real-time image processing. Experiments were conducted by using various infrared thermal images. The results show that the proposed method is successful for image enhancement of an infrared thermal image.
