This article describes how in traditional edge detection it is prone to defects such as fuzzy positioning, and noise influence. This article proposes a type of edge detection algorithm which combines lifting wavelet transform and adaptive mathematical morphology, which makes a lifting wavelet to analyze the wood cell image. Then, the high-frequency part is detected by using the algorithm fusing the wavelet packet and the rapid-combining multi-scale wavelet, which controls noise effectively; while for the low frequency part is detected with modified adaptive mathematical morphology, to locate the exact details. The final result will processes the edge of the image using “algebra” algorithm fusion. The example for a wood cell image which illustrates the algorithm is to detect the cell boundary relatively clearly, and effectively suppress the noise.
This paper presents a fusion algorithm for image edge detection based on the mathematical morphology and the NSCT. First the de-noised image is processed by the multi-structure elements of the mathematical morphology. And then the processed image is decomposed by the NSCT into multi-scale and multi-directional sub-bands. Edges in the high-frequency sub-bands are extracted with the dual-threshold modulus maxima method. Finally the edges of the de-noised image are refined into a single pixel edge image. The simulation results show that this method can effectively suppress noise, eliminate pseudo-edges, locate accurately and detect the complete outline.
The aim of this paper is to show analytically and empirically how ant-based algorithms for medical image edge detection can be enhanced by using an admissible perturbation of demicontractive operators. We thus complement the results reported in a recent paper by the second author and her collaborators, where they used admissible perturbations of demicontractive mappings as test functions. To illustrate this fact, we first consider some typical properties of demicontractive mappings and of their admissible perturbations and then present some appropriate numerical tests to illustrate the improvement brought by the admissible perturbations of demicontractive mappings when they are taken as test functions in ant-based algorithms for medical image edge detection. The edge detection process reported in our study considers both symmetric (Head CT and Brain CT) and asymmetric (Hand X-ray) medical images. The performance of the algorithm was tested visually with various images and empirically with evaluation of parameters.
CANNY operator had widely usage for edge detection; however it also had certain deficiencies. So the traditional CANNY operator about this is improved and puts forward a kind of new algorithm used for image edge detection. Compared improved algorithm with traditional algorithm for edge detection, simulations shows that new algorithm is more effective for image edge detection and the clearer detection result is obtained.
