Abstract

For edge detection methods, there are Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and Canny edge detector, and these methods have insufficient detection characteristics in the image corrupted by the impulse noise. Therefore in this paper, in order to improve these disadvantages of the previous methods and to effectively detect the edge in the impulse noise environment, using the $5{\times}5$ mask, the noise factors within the $3{\times}3$ mask based on the central pixel is determined, and depending on its status, for noise-free it is processed as is, and if noise is found, by obtaining the estimated mask using the adjacent pixels of each factor, an algorithm that detects the edge is proposed.

에지 검출 방법은 Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Canny 에지 검출기 등이 있으며, 이러한 방법들은 임펄스 잡음에 훼손된 영상에서 에지 검출 특성이 미흡하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존의 방법의 단점들을 개선하고 임펄스 잡음 환경에서 효과적으로 에지를 검출하기 위하여, $3{\times}3$ 마스크를 사용하여 중심 화소를 기준으로 한 $5{\times}5$ 마스크 내의 요소들에 대해 잡음을 판단하며, 그 여부에 따라 비잡음일 경우 그대로 처리하고 잡음일 경우 각 요소들의 인접 화소를 이용하여 추정 마스크를 구하여 에지를 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다.
