Points of sharp variations in signals are the most important factors when analyzing the features of signals. And in the image, edges include diverse information such as the locations, shape and material. There have been a variety of researches on edge detections, among them, methods based on convolution in the spatial domain have been most popular. However at the early stage of the method, if the noise and many kinds of edges exist in the image, it is not easy to separate edges selectively from corrupted images by noise. In meantime, the wavelet transform for multiscale edge detection is being applied widely to analyze the properties of images in various fields. In this paper, we suggest a robust wavelet-based method, which selectively detects line-edge elements from images in the presence of noise.

In this paper, an edge detecting sensor using ultrasonic detection module is developed which will be used for areas of industrial applications such as plastic film winding system, cloth winding system, paper roll industry, etc. The developed sensor have properties that more exactly detect the edge line, that less affected by environmental noise, and that it produced more stable measurement output. The mass of the winding object is dominantly affect the dynamics of the system and it could produce undesirable result of the system such as stability of the closed-loop system and accuracy of edge-line-following-control(ELFC) objective. Also, there exist sensor noise due to the mechanical vibration or other environmental effect. These noise also degrade the efficiency of control system. In order to compensate these problems, this paper present a fuzzy PI/PID edge-line-controller, and which is designed and implemented.

경계선 검출은 시각 인식 또는 기계 시각 인식의 과정에서 제일 먼저 수행되는 전처리 단계이다. 경계선 검출은 컴퓨터 시각 인식성능에 매우 중대한 요인으로 작용한다. 최근 MPEG-4에서 Model Based Coding 기법이 채택되면서, 경계선 검출 및 이를 이용한 컴퓨터 시각 인식의 중요성은 날로 커지고 있다. 한편, 잡음이 있는 영상의 경계선 검출 방법으로 여러 가지가 제시되었는데, 특히 잡음의 종류가 Additive White Gaussian인 경우에는 Canny Edge Detector가, Impulse인 경우에는 Dual Stack Filter를 적용한 방법이 각각 높은 성능으로 인정을 받고 있다. 그러나 Canny Edge Detector의 경우, Canny는 이론적인 Optimal Filter를 구하는 데에 성공하였지만 실제 적용에는, 이 Optimal Filter의 근사로써 Gauss함수의 1계 도함수를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 Gauss함수보다는 상당히 Optimal Filter와 가까운 Filter를 얻기 위하여 웨이블릿 변환을 사용한 Liao등의 방법과, 각기 다른 Scale에서의 웨이블릿 변환들이 가지는 잡음과의 관계를 고려한 새로운 경계선 검출방법을 개발하였다. 실험결과, 본 연구에서의 방법은 기존에 사용되던 Canny Edge Detector나 Stochastic Operator보다 뛰어난 성능을 보여주었다.

Recently, research using unstructured data such as images and videos has been actively conducted in various fields. Edge detection is one of the most useful image enhancement techniques to improve the quality of the image process. However, it is very difficult to perform edge detection in noise images because the edges and noise having high frequency components. This paper uses a linear model and standard deviation as an effective edge detection method for noise images. The edge is detected by the difference between the standard deviation of the pixels included in the pixel block and the standard deviation of the residual obtained by fitting the linear model. The results of edge detection are compared with the results of the Sobel edge detector. In the original image, the Sobel edge detection result and the proposed edge detection result are similar. Proposed method was confirmed that the edge with reduced noise was detected in the various levels of noise images.

For edge detection methods, there are Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and Canny edge detector, and these methods have insufficient detection characteristics in the image corrupted by the impulse noise. Therefore in this paper, in order to improve these disadvantages of the previous methods and to effectively detect the edge in the impulse noise environment, using the $5{\times}5$ mask, the noise factors within the $3{\times}3$ mask based on the central pixel is determined, and depending on its status, for noise-free it is processed as is, and if noise is found, by obtaining the estimated mask using the adjacent pixels of each factor, an algorithm that detects the edge is proposed.

We propose an optimal edge detection algorithm adaptive to the various widths of edges. In order to construct this algorithm, we introduce an alternative definition of edge point and generalize the directional derivatives in the pixel space to obtain an extended directional derivatives beyond scaling. The result from applying our algorithm to a 2D image is analyzed comparing to that from the other algorithm.

The edge detection is a pre-processing of such as image segmentation, image recognition, etc, and many related studies are being conducted both in domestic and abroad. Representative edge detection methods are Sobel, Prewitt, Laplacian, Roberts and Canny edge detectors. Such existing methods are possible for superb detections of edges if edges are detected from videos without noises. However, for video degraded by the salt-and-pepper noise, the edge detection characteristic is shown to be insufficient due to the noise influence. Therefore, in this study, the area is separated as the top, down, left and right from the mask's center pixel first to acquire a superb edge detection characteristic from the video damaged by the salt-and-pepper noise. And the algorithm that detects the final edge by applying the directional mask on the assumed factor of mask that is obtained according to the result of determination for the noise status of representative pixel value of each area.

This paper presents a detection algorithm that accurately finds the active area of a video player on monitors or smart TVs. Unlike the previous approaches, temporal difference-based detection algorithms or hooking programs, the proposed detection algorithm can locate the active video player by using the spatial and temporal correlation and a corner detection filter. First, an initial location of the video player is found using conventional temporal difference-based detection. Then, starting from the initial location, the four corners of the active video player are detected by the spatial edge information and the corner detection filter. The experimental results show that proposed algorithm provides fast detection speed and high accuracy.

While the conventional edge detection can be considered as the problem of determining the existence of edges at certain locations, the fuzzy edge modeling can be considered as the problem of determining the membership values of edges. Thus, if the location of an edge is unclear, or if the intensity function is different from the ideal edge model, the degree of edgeness at the location is represented as a fuzzy membership value. Using the concept of fuzzy edgeness, an automatic smoothing parameter evaluation and selection method for a conventional edge detector is proposed. This evaluation method uses the fuzzy edge modeling, and can analyze the effect of smoothing parameter to determine an optimal parameter for a given image. By using the selected parameter we can detect least ambiguous edges of a detection method for an image. The effectiveness of the parameter evaluation method is analyzed and demonstrated using a set of synthetic and real images.
