This paper proposes an efficient edge detection using Van der Waerden statistic in original and noisy images. An edge is where the intensity of an image moves from a low value to a high value or vice versa. We describe a nonparametric Wilcoxon test and a parametric T test based on statistical hypothesis testing for the detection of edges. We use the threshold determined by specifying significance level $\alpha$, while Bovik, Huang and Munson consider the range of possible values of test statistics for the threshold. From the experimental results of edge detection, the T and Wilcoxon method perform sensitively to the noisy image, while the proposed Waerden method is robust over both noisy and noise-free images under $\alpha$=0.0005. Comparison with our statistical test and Sobel, LoG, Canny operators shows that Waerden method perform more effectively in both noisy and noise-free images.

In this paper we propose three nonparametric tests such as Wilcoxon test, Median test and Van der Waerden test, based on linear rank statistics for detecting edges in images. The methods used herein are based on detecting changes in gray-levels obtained using an edge-height parameter between two sub-regions in a 5$\times$5 window We compare and analysis the performance of three statistical edge detectors in terms of qualitative measures with the edge maps and objective, quantitative measures.

In this paper we propose Wilcoxon test, Median test and Van der Waerden test such as linear rank tests in two-sample location problem for detecting edges effectively in noisy images. These methods are based on detecting image intensity changes between two pixel neighborhoods using an edge-height model to perform effectively on noisy images. The neighborhood size used here is small and its shape is varied adaptively according to edge orientations. We compare and analysis the performance of these statistical edge detectors on both natural images and synthetic images with and without noise.

본 연구는 아날로그 신호를 사용하는 공중교환 전화망과 접속되는 그룹 3(G3) 팩시밀리의 화상 품질을 측정하는 방법을 제시하였다. CCITT(현 ITU-TS) 표준시험 도표 No.2를 이용하여 전송된 화상에 대한 평가는 설문조사를 통해 평가되었고, 그것들은 MOS(Mean Opinion Score) 방법에 의해 계량화되었다. 설문지의 결과에 대한 상관 분석을 통해 문항을 하나의 종합 평가 문항으로 줄일 수 있음을 살펴보았다. 그리고 그 점수들의 평균들에 대한 차이를 분석함으로써 팩시밀리 화상 품질에 영향을 미치는 요인들의 유의성을 검정하였다. 유의성을 검정하는 방법들로 t 검정법과 Vander Waerden Scores 방법을 제시하였다. 그리고 검정 결과 점수 평균이 유의하지 않은 그룹들을 하나의 그룹으로 하여 그 그룹에 있어서 점수 히스토그램을 구하였다. 이 히스토그램을 하나의 정규 분포 곡선으로 근사시켜 팩시밀리 화상 품질 평가치를 살펴보았다.
