ABSTRACT

Edge detection is one of the most critical tasks in automatic image analysis. There exists no
universal edge detection method which works well under all conditions. Our project shows
the new approach based on the one of the most efficient techniques for edge detection, which
is entropy-based thresholding. The main advantages of the proposed method are its
robustness and its flexibility. We also introduce a method based on multi-threshold values
using Shannon entropy to solve the problem of traditional edge detectors. We present
experimental results for this method, and compare results of the algorithm against several
leading edge detection methods, such as Canny, LOG, and Sobel. Experimental results
demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better result than some classic methods.
PREVIOUS WORK
A new edge detection algorithm based on the mathematical morphology has been proposed.
The mathematical morphological edge detection algorithm is derived from the basic
morphological operations. The input video frame is first processed by a morphological
contrast enhancement operator and a dilation residue edge detection operator. The
mathematical morphological dilation residue edge detector is then used in this algorithm for
detecting the edge information, which can produce various strengths of edges in the image.
The quad decomposition edge enhancement process thresholding process and mask-based
noise filter are also developed, and these new components are used to enhance thin edge
features, extract edge points and filter out some meaninglessly noisy pixels, respectively. The
proposed algorithm is able to detect the features in low-contrast regions, and preserve them as
well as other apparent edges.
