This paper suggests an approach to the subtle concept, "good", through the fuzzy logic and the design of the Canny edge detector of Gray scale images based on the rules of fuzzy anisotropic diffusion. The Canny edge detection algorithms design is to divide the gray levels into pixels and then calculate the diffusion coefficients at each pixel of non-edgy regions. Based on this processing, we present the Canny edge detector implementing fuzzy logic and comparing the results to other existing methods. The proposed approach is the narrow dynamic range of the gray-level image Sharpening the edge detection and has the advantage.

본 논문에서는 에지 검출기에 의해 다양한 명암이 존재하는 차량 번호판 영역의 사각형 에지를 검출시 사용되는 소벨 및 Prewitt, Roberts, 가우시안의 라플라시안, 그리고 Canny 검출기를 사용하여 처리 속도와 에지 검출의 정확성을 실험하여 각 연산자의 성능을 평가하였다. 기존의 Sobel 에지 검출기는 적응적 임계값을 구하지 않으면 다양한 조명의 영향에 강인하지 못하다. 또한 Canny 에지 검출기는 조명의 영향에 강인하기는 하나, 계산량이 Sobel 보다는 많아 처리 속도가 느리다. 색상에 의해 번호판 후보 영역을 추출한 후 에지 검출기 번호판 내의 명암이 둘 이상으로 차량 번호판 영역에 대해서, 다양한 에지 검출기를 적용하여 속도와 에지 검출 성능을 비교 평가하고자 한다.

An edge is where the intensity of an image moves from a low value to high value or vice versa. The edges tell where objects are. their shape and size. and something about their texture. Many traditional edge operators are derivative based and perform reasonably well for simple noise-free images. In recent, statistical edge detectors for complex images with noises have been described. This paper compares and analysis the performance of statistical edge detectors based on the T test and Wilcoxon test, and mathematical edge detectors based on Sobel operator, and the well-known Canny detector and Wavelet transformation detector, and provides the implementation of these edge detectors using Java on the web.

In order to detect and locate edge features precisely in real images we have developed an algorithm by introducing a nonlocal differentiation of intensity profiles called adaptive directional derivative (ADD), which is evaluated independently of varying ramp widths. In this paper, we first develop the edge detector system employing the ADD and then, the performance of the algorithm is illustrated by comparing the results to those from the Canny's edge detector.

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.

In this paper, neddle detection algorithm for the removal of needle stuck into skin in oriental clinic is presented. First, in the proposed method, potential candidate areas of each needle are selected by using the morphological open operation in a gray image, and the false candidates are removed by considering their area size. Next, edge points are extracted using canny edge detector in selected candidate areas, line segments are approximated using the edge points. Based on the direction of line segment and the distance between two line segments, two main line segments of the needle are extracted. The final verification of needle is accomplished by using the morphological analysis of these two line segments. In the experiments, the detection rate of proposed method reaches to 97.5% for the 16 images containing 119 needles.

Characters in natural image are an important information with various context. Previous work of character region detection algorithms is not detect of character region in case of image complexity and the surrounding lighting, similar background to character, so this paper propose an method of character region detection in natural image using edge and connected component by morphological reconstructions. Firstly, we detect edge using Canny-edge detector and connected component with local min/max value by morphological reconstructed-operation in gray-scale image, and labeling each of detected connected component elements. lastly, detected candidate of text regions was merged for generation for one candidate text region, Final text region detected by checking the similarity and adjacency of neighbor of text candidate individual character. As the results of experiments, proposed algorithm improved the correctness of character regions detection using edge and connected components.

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.

As the digital image devices are widely used, interests in the software- and the hardware-related image processing become higher and the image processing techniques are applied in various fields such as object recognition, object detection, fingerprint recognition, and etc. For the edge detections Sobel, Prewitt, Laplacian, Roberts and Canny detectors are used and these existing methods can excellently detect the edges of the images without noise. However, in the images corrupted by the impulse noise, these methods are insufficent in noise elimination characteristics, showing unsatisfactory edge detection. Therefore in this paper, in order to obtain excellent edge detection characteristics in the corrupted image by the impulse noise, an detection algorithm is porposed, which uses the central pixel of mask divided by four regions along the axis, calculates the estimated mask according to the representing pixel values in each regions, and detects the final edges by applying the estimates mask and the new directional one.

오래 전 부터 영상처리와 컴퓨터 비전은 많은 분야에 응용되고 발전 되어 왔다. 그러한 기술 중에 최근 각광 받고 있는 그래프 짓(Graph cut) 알고리즘은 에너지함수를 최소화 하는 가장 강력한 최적화 기법중 하나이다. 그리고 일반적으로 Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Canny 에지(edge) 검출기 등은 영상처리에서 영상상의 에지를 검출하기 위해 이미 널리 사용되고 발전되어 온 기술이다. 물체에서의 윤곽만 검출하기 위해서는 우리가 원하지 않는 영상 위의 에지도 검출되기 때문에 예지 검출기만으로는 물체의 윤곽만을 검출하는 것은 불가능하다. 우리는 물체의 윤곽만 검출하기를 원하기 때문에 그래프 컷과 에지 검출기의 알고리즘을 결합하면 이러한 문제를 해결 할 수 있다는 것을 제안한다. 이 논문에서는 그래프 컷 알고리즘과 에지 검출기에 관해 간략하게 기술하고 그 결과를 보일 것이다.
