International Journal of Computer Applications, 2014

Image processing supports applications in different fields such as medicine, astronomy, product quality, industrial applications. Edge detection plays important role in segmentation and object identification process. Soft computing approach represents a good mathematical framework to deal with uncertainty of information. The performance of the well-known edge detectors, like Canny, Sobel, etc, depends critically on the choice of the input parameters. Threshold decision is the key uncertainty in the edge detection algorithms. In this paper, an improved edge detection algorithm based on fuzzy combination of mathematical morphology and multiscale wavelet transform is proposed. The proposed method overcomes the limitation of wavelet based edge detection and mathematical morphology based edge detection in noisy images. Method present will give best results for noisy images.

Soft Computing is an emerging field that consists of complementary elements of fuzzy logic, neural computing and evolutionary computation. Soft computing techniques have found wide applications. One of the most important applications is edge detection specifically at homogeneous regions for image segmentation based on Fuzzy logic. The process of partitioning a digital image into multiple regions or sets of pixels is called image segmentation [3]. Edge is a boundary between two homogeneous regions. Edge detection refers to the process of identifying and locating sharp discontinuities in an image.

Medical Image Edge Detection Based on Soft Computing Approach

Edge detection is an important pre-processing step in image analysis and computer vision. Medical image edge detection is an important work for object recognition of the human organs. Edge detection of medical images is one of the most important applications for image segmentation. It refers to the process of identifying and locating sharp discontinuities in medical images. In this paper, a soft computing approach based on fuzzy logic is introduced to detect the edges for noisy images. Here, an image is considered as a fuzzy set and pixels are taken as elements of fuzzy set. The performance of the proposed edge detector is evaluated on different medical images and compared with popular edge detection algorithm. From the experimental results it is clear that the proposed approach has better performance than those of other competing edge detection algorithm for noisy medical images.

Edge detection is one of the most important techniques in image processing. In spite of 20 years of research, the need for general edge detector is still felt.

A Fuzzy Logic Based Method for Edge Detection

In this paper we present a method for detecting edges in grayscale images. The method is based on the use of a fuzzy classifier. The difference between our method and other similar methods is the use of a morphological operation to thin the obtained edges. Our entire algorithm was implemented in the development/simulation environment called Matlab. The experiments have shown promising results, we have obtained the desired thickness of the edges.

Fuzzy Logic based Edge Detection Method for Image Processing

International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2018

Edge detection is the first step in image recognition systems in a digital image processing. An effective way to resolve many information from an image such depth, curves and its surface is by analyzing its edges, because that can elucidate these characteristic when color, texture, shade or light changes slightly. Thiscan lead to misconception image or vision as it based on faulty method. This work presentsa new fuzzy logic method with an implemention. The objective of this method is to improve the edge detection task. The results are comparable to similar techniques in particular for medical images because it does not take the uncertain part into its account.
