A type-2 fuzzy edge detection method is presented in this paper. The general process consists of first obtaining the image gradients in the four directions—horizontal, vertical, and the two diagonals—and this technique is known as the morphological gradient. After that, the general type-2 fuzzy Sugeno integral (GT2 FSI) is used to integrate the four image gradients. In this second step, the GT2 FSI establishes criteria to determine at which level the obtained image gradient belongs to an edge during the process; this is calculated assigning different general type-2 fuzzy densities, and these fuzzy gradients are aggregated using the meet and join operators. The gradient integration using the GT2 FSI provides a methodology for achieving more robust edge detection, even more if we are working with blurry images. The experimental evaluations are performed on synthetic and real images, and the accuracy is quantified using Pratt’s Figure of Merit. The results values demonstrate that the proposed edge detection method outperforms other existing algorithms.

Edge detection is an old and hot topic in image processing, pattern recognition and computer vision. Numerous edge detection approaches have been proposed to gray images. It is difficult to extend these approaches to color image edge detection. A novel edge detection method based on mathematical morphology for color images is proposed in this paper. The proposed approach firstly compute vector gradient based on morphological gradient operators, and then compute the optimal gradient according to structure elements with different size. Finally, we use a threshold to binary the gradient images and then obtain the edge images. Experimental results show that the proposed approach has advantages of suppressing noise and preserving edge details and it is not sensitive to noise pixel. The finally edge images via the proposed method have high PSNR and NC compared with the traditional approaches.

Abstract A latent fingerprint is an interesting issue because of it has attained from crime places and moreover contained a low quality image, less number of features and unwanted noises. It is necessity to extract the original image with exact boundary from the surface for further processing such as authentication, identification and matching. In this work, a new distance measure has been proposed for latent fingerprint edge detection using Intuitionistic Type-2 Fuzzy Entropy (IT2FE) and a comprehensible definition is made for Intuitionistic Type-2 Fuzzy Sets (IT2FS). IT2FS takes into account of uncertainty in the form of membership function which is also termed as Intuitionistic Type-2 Fuzzy Divergence (IT2FD). The experiment is conducted with public domain fingerprint databases such as FVC-2004 and IIIT-latent fingerprint. The edge detection is carried out with the proposed method and the results are discovered better regarding existing method.

In order to improve the accuracy of image edge detection.A spline interpolation sub pixel edge detection method based on improved morphological gradient is proposed in the thesis.Firstly,using improved morphological gradient filter operator for image coarse positioning;Then,the cubic spline interpolation method is carried out for pixel-level edge of the image interpolation so that the image edge locates in sub-pixel level.Have a simulation experiment to improved methods by Matlab, results show that the improved method can accurately detect the edge of the image, edge detection is fine, the precision of positioning is hight and the result of detection is good.
