Abstract

Edge detection is one of issues with essential importance in the area of image process. An edge in image is a boundary or contour which a significant change occurs in image intensity. In the paper, we process edge detection algorithms which are based on Potts automata. The dynamical behavior of these automata is completely determined by Lyapunov operators for sequential and parallel update. If Potts Automata convergence to fixed points, then it can be used to image processing. From the generalized Potts automata point of view, we propose a Potts Automata technique for detecting edge. Based on the experimental results we discuss the advantage and efficiency.
