Early warning of floods is an essential part of disaster management. Various automatic detectors have been developed in flood mitigation, including cameras. But reliability and accuracy have not been improved. Besides, the use of monitoring devices has been employed to monitor water levels in various water building facilities. The early warning flood detector was carried out with a sensor camera using an orange ball that floats near the water level gauge in a bounding box. This approach uses the integration of computer vision and image processing, namely digital image processing techniques, with Sobel Canny edge detection (SCED) algorithms to detect quickly and accurately water levels in real-time. After the water level is measured, a flood detection process is carried out based on the specified water level. According to the results of experiments in the laboratory, it has been shown that the proposed approach can detect objects accurately and fast in real-time. Besides, from the water level detection experiment, good results were obtained. Therefore, the object detection system and water level can be used as an efficient and accurate early detection system for flood disasters.

The recent advent of the embedded devices is equipped with multicore processor as it significantly improves the system performance. In order to utilize all the core in multicore processor in an efficient manner, application programs need to be parallelized. An efficient thread level parallelism (ETLP) scheme is proposed in this paper and uses computationally intensive edge detection algorithm for evaluation. Edge detection is the important process in various real time applications namely vehicle detection in traffic control, medical image processing etc. The main objective of ETLP scheme is to reduce the execution time and increase the CPU core utilization. The performance of ETLP scheme is evaluated with basic edge detection scheme (BEDS) for different image size. The experimental results reveal that the proposed ETLP scheme achieves efficiency of 49% and 72% for the image size 300 x 256 and 1024 x 1024 respectively. Furthermore an ETLP scheme reducing 66% execution time for image size 1024 x 1024 when compared with BEDS.

Abstract. This article will introduce a new edge detection method called Elisabeth method to analyze image. The case study here is Javanese Batik’s motif. Edges are basic low level primitives for image processing. It helps to identify pictures. Methods used are the combination between Sobel and Prewitt. This method is completely new to analyze Javanese Batik’s motif. Every batik motif has unique pattern. The purpose of this research is to improving edge detection method that already known now. The result is a new method in edge detection problems. Batik is one of the Indonesian Heritage that avowed as a Heritage World Cultures. With this research it hoped can help our country to classify and identify Batik’s motif items in Indonesia. Keywords: Prewitt, Sobel, Elisabeth, Javanese Batik, Parang, Kawung Abstrak.

Edge detection that is an important means to realize image segmentation has important application significance in image processing, industrial detection, artificial intelligence and the target recognition field. As the demand for real-time and rapidity in image processing, the embedded image processing technology has been widely applied. But the realization of real-time edge detection for image requires a large amount of data processing, limited system resources of embedded system is the main reason of the embedded image processing technology development. In order to shorten time embedded systems edge detection processing large amounts of data, based on adaptive threshold Canny algorithm, this paper as the FPGA data processing DSP chips and made a FPGA + DSP hardware architecture, effectively improve the system real-time, get a good edge detection results.

Traffic congestion at junctions is a serious issue on a daily basis. The prevailing traffic light controllers are unable to manage the different traffic flows. Most of the current systems operate on a timing mechanism that changes the signal after a particular interval of time. This may cause frustration and result in motorist's time waste. Traffic congestion is a major problem in the currently existing systems. Delays, safety, parking, and environmental problems are the main issues of current traffic systems that emit smoke and contribute to increasing Global Warming. Sensor-based systems reduce the waiting time and maximize the total number of vehicles that can cross an intersection. Our proposed system can control the traffic lights based on image processing without the need for traffic police. This can reduce congestion, delay, road accidents, need for manpower. Under image processing, we use sub techniques like RGB to Gray conversion, Image resizing, Image Enhancement, Edge detection, Image matching, and Timing allocation. A real-time image is captured for every 1 second. After edge detection procedure for both reference and real-time images, these images are compared using SURF Algorithm. Then the amount of traffic is detected and the details are stored in the server. Arduino is used for a traffic signal in the hardware part. It consists of a Wi-Fi module. The micro-controller used in the system Arduino. Four cameras are placed on respective roads and these cameras are used to capture images to analyze traffic density. Then the traffic signals are decided according to the density of traffic. Our technique can be effective to combat traffic on Indian Roads. A lot of time can be saved by deploying this system and also it conserves a lot of resources as well as the economy
