In this paper, an edge detection method based on the regularized Laplacian operation is given. The Laplacian operation has been used extensively as a second-order edge detector due to its variable separability and rotation symmetry. Since the image data might contain some noises inevitably, regularization methods should be introduced to overcome the instability of Laplacian operation. By rewriting the Laplacian operation as an integral equation of the first kind, a regularization based on partial differential equation (PDE) can be used to compute the Laplacian operation approximately. We first propose a novel edge detection algorithm based on the regularized Laplacian operation. Considering the importance of the regularization parameter, an unsupervised choice strategy of the regularization parameter is introduced subsequently. Finally, the validity of the proposed edge detection algorithm is shown by some comparison experiments.

According to the shortcoming of traditional Canny edge detection algorithm is sensitive to noise and low positioning accuracy, this paper proposes an algorithm of Polynomial interpolation Sub-pixel edge detection based on improved Canny operator: We first use improved Canny operator edge detection algorithm to extract rough image edge, then use the quadratic Polynomial interpolation to calculate on the rough extraction edge, finally refine the edge image. Experiments show that the improved method is better than the traditional detection method can accurately locate the image edge.

This paper proposes an adaptive Canny operator edge detection algorithm. The proposed method can automatically set the threshold value according to the different image gray-scale gradient histogram adaptively and improve the performance in the detail edge detection and good localization. Experiments show that this method produces better edge detection results performance than the Otsu method. Besides our method, Roberts operator, Prewitt operator, Sobel operator, Log operator and Canny operator based on Otsu algorithm are also tested for comparisons.

The edge detection algorithm is the cornerstone of image processing; a good edge detection result can further extract the required information through rich texture information and achieve object detection, segmentation, and identification. To obtain a rich texture edge detection technology, this paper proposes using edge texture change for edge construction and constructs the edge contour through constructing an edge texture extension between the blocks to reduce the missing edge problem caused by the threshold setting. Finally, through verification of the experimental results, the proposed method can effectively overcome the problem caused by unsuitable threshold setting and detect rich object edge information compared to the adaptive edge detection method.

The CAD is a relatively young interdisciplinary technology, has had a tremendous impact on medical diagnosis specifically cancer detection. The accuracy of CAD to detect abnormalities on medical image analysis requires a robust segmentation algorithm. To achieve accurate segmentation, an efficient edge-detection algorithm is essential. Medical images like USG, X-Ray, CT and MRI exhibit diverse image characteristics but are essentially collection of intensity variations from which specific abnormalities are needed to be isolated. In this chapter a robust medical image enhancement and edge detection algorithm is proposed, using tree-based adaptive thresholding technique. It has been compared with different classical edge-detection techniques using one sample two tail t-test to exam whether the null hypothesis can be supported. The proposed edge-detection algorithm showing 0.07 p-values and 2.411 t-stat where α = 0.025. Moreover the proposed edge is single pixeled and connected which is very significant for medical edge detection.

This paper reviews some gradient edge detection methods and proposes a new detector — the template matching edge detector (TMED). This detector utilizes the concepts of pattern analysis and the template matching of 3×3 masks. A set of performance criteria was used to evaluate the gradient edge detectors as well as the template matching edge detector. The results indicate that the new method is superior to the other gradient edge detectors. In addition, the template matching edge detector has also demonstrated good performance on noisy images. It can obtain very precise edge detection of single pixel width.

The imperfections of image acquisition systems produce noise. The majority of edge detectors, including gradient-based edge detectors, are sensitive to noise. To reduce this sensitivity, the first step of some edge detectors’ algorithms, such as the Canny’s edge detector, is the filtering of acquired images with a Gaussian filter. We show experimentally that this filtering is not sufficient in case of strong Additive White Gaussian or multiplicative speckle noise, because the remaining grains of noise produce false edges. The aim of this paper is to improve edge detection robustness against Gaussian and speckle noise by preceding the Canny’s edge detector with a new type of denoising system. We propose a two-stage denoising system acting in the Hyperanalytic Wavelet Transform Domain. The results obtained in applying the proposed edge detection method outperform state-of-the-art edge detection results from the literature.

Edge detection is a vital part in image segmentation. In this paper, a novel method based on adjacent dispersion for edge detection is proposed. This method utilizes adjacent dispersion to detect edges, avoiding thresholds selection, anisotropy in convolution computation and discontinuity in edges, and it is composed of two modules, namely the dispersion operator and the refinement. The dispersion is to obtain a matrix of discrete coefficient of a gray level image and the refinement is to thin edges to one-pixel-point and ensure it logically continuous. The performance of the proposed edge detector is evaluated on different test images and compared with popular edge detectors, Canny and Sobel. Experiment results indicate that the proposed method performs well without thresholds and offers superior performance in continuity in edge detection in digital images.
