This paper suggests an approach to the subtle concept, "good", through the fuzzy logic and the design of the Canny edge detector of Gray scale images based on the rules of fuzzy anisotropic diffusion. The Canny edge detection algorithms design is to divide the gray levels into pixels and then calculate the diffusion coefficients at each pixel of non-edgy regions. Based on this processing, we present the Canny edge detector implementing fuzzy logic and comparing the results to other existing methods. The proposed approach is the narrow dynamic range of the gray-level image Sharpening the edge detection and has the advantage.

We propose a simple method for tracking a nonparameterized subject contour in a single video stream with a moving camera and changing background. Then we present a method to eliminate the tracked contour object by replacing with the background scene we get from other frame. Our method consists of two parts: first we track the object using LOD (Level-of-Detail) canny edge maps, then we generate background of each image frame and replace the tracked object in a scene by a background image from other frame that is not occluded by the tracked object. Our tracking method is based on level-of-detail (LOD) modified Canny edge maps and graph-based routing operations on the LOD maps. To reduce side-effects because of irrelevant edges, we start our basic tracking by using strong Canny edges generated from large image intensity gradients of an input image. We get more edge pixels along LOD hierarchy. LOD Canny edge pixels become nodes in routing, and LOD values of adjacent edge pixels determine routing costs between the nodes. We find the best route to follow Canny edge pixels favoring stronger Canny edge pixels. Our accurate tracking is based on reducing effects from irrelevant edges by selecting the stronger edge pixels, thereby relying on the current frame edge pixel as much as possible. This approach is based on computing camera motion. Our experimental results show that our method works nice for moderate camera movement with small object shape changes.

Edge detection always influenced by the noise of original image, therefore need some methods to eliminate them in advance, and the Mean Shift algorithm has the smooth function which suit for this purpose, so adopt it to fade out the unimportant information and the sensitive noise portions. Above all, we use the Canny algorithm to pick up the contour of the objects we focus on. And, take tests and get better result than the former sole Canny algorithm. This combination method of Mean Shift algorithm and Canny algorithm is suitable for the edge detection processing.

스테레오 정합을 하기 위해서 먼저 두 이미지의 자기를 정규화 하였고, 밝기가 정규화 된 영상을 이용하여 Canny방식으로 Edge를 검출한 후 에지 적응형 스테레오 정합 방식으로 두 영상을 정합하여 변이도 영상들을 얻었다. 그 중 Canny Edge 방식이 다른 Edge 검출 방식보다 선명한 영상을 추출했다. Canny Edge 방식으로 획득한 스테레오영상을 중위수 필터를 사용하여 잡음을 제거한 후, 필터링 전 후의 영상을 PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)로 비교하여 본 결과 개선된 영상을 획득 하였다.

경계선 검출은 시각 인식 또는 기계 시각 인식의 과정에서 제일 먼저 수행되는 전처리 단계이다. 경계선 검출은 컴퓨터 시각 인식성능에 매우 중대한 요인으로 작용한다. 최근 MPEG-4에서 Model Based Coding 기법이 채택되면서, 경계선 검출 및 이를 이용한 컴퓨터 시각 인식의 중요성은 날로 커지고 있다. 한편, 잡음이 있는 영상의 경계선 검출 방법으로 여러 가지가 제시되었는데, 특히 잡음의 종류가 Additive White Gaussian인 경우에는 Canny Edge Detector가, Impulse인 경우에는 Dual Stack Filter를 적용한 방법이 각각 높은 성능으로 인정을 받고 있다. 그러나 Canny Edge Detector의 경우, Canny는 이론적인 Optimal Filter를 구하는 데에 성공하였지만 실제 적용에는, 이 Optimal Filter의 근사로써 Gauss함수의 1계 도함수를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 Gauss함수보다는 상당히 Optimal Filter와 가까운 Filter를 얻기 위하여 웨이블릿 변환을 사용한 Liao등의 방법과, 각기 다른 Scale에서의 웨이블릿 변환들이 가지는 잡음과의 관계를 고려한 새로운 경계선 검출방법을 개발하였다. 실험결과, 본 연구에서의 방법은 기존에 사용되던 Canny Edge Detector나 Stochastic Operator보다 뛰어난 성능을 보여주었다.

Recent advancements in camera communication (CamCom) technology using visible light exploited to use display as an luminance source to modulate the data for visible light data communication. The existing display-CamCom techniques uses the selected region of interest based camera capturing approach to detect and decode the 2D color coded data on display screen. This is not effective way to do communicate when the user on mobility. This paper propose the automatic display detection using Lambertian color segmentation combined with canny edge detection algorithms for CamCom in order to avoid manual region of interest selection to establish communication link between display and camera. The automatic display detection methods fails using conventional edge detection algorithms when content changes dynamically in displays. In order to solve this problem lambertian color segmentation combined with canny edge detection algorithms are proposed to detect display automatically. This research analysed different algorithms on display edge recognition and measured the performance on rendering dynamically changing content with color code on display. The display detection rate is achieved around 96% using this proposed solutions.

This paper proposes the efficient preprocessing method based on curvelet transform for edge enhancement in image. The propose method is generated the edge map by using the Canny algorithm to wavelet transform, which is the sub-step of the curvelet transform. In order to improve the part of edge feature, the selective sharpening according to the generate edge map is applied. In experimental result, the propose method achieves that the enhancement of edge feature is better than conventional methods. This leads that peak to signal noise ratio, edge intensity are improvement on average about 1.92, 1.12dB respectively.

Scene text extraction is important because it offers some important information on different image based applications pouring in current smart generation. Edge-Enhanced MSER(Maximally Stable Extremal Regions) which enhances the boundaries using the canny operator after extracting the basic MSER shows excellent performance in terms of text extraction. But according to setting the threshold of the canny operator, the result images using Edge-Enhanced MSER are different, so there needs a method figuring out the threshold. In this paper, we propose a AEMSER(Adaptive Edge-enhanced MSER) that applies the method extracting the boundary using the middle value of histogram to Edge-Enhanced MSER to get the canny operator's threshold. The proposed method can acquire better result images than the existing methods because it extracts the area only for the obvious boundaries.

Edge detection is very significant in low level image processing. However, majority edge detection methods are not only effective enough cause of the noise points' influence, even not flexible enough to different input images. In order to sort these problems, in this paper an algorithm is presented that has an extra noise reduction stage at first, and then automatically selects the both thresholds depending on gradient amplitude histogram and intra class minimum variance. Using this algorithm, can fade out almost all of the sensitive noise points, and calculate the propose thresholds for different images without setting up the practical parameters artificially, and then choose edge pixels by fuzzy algorithm. In finally, get the better result than the former Canny algorithm.

An edge is where the intensity of an image moves from a low value to high value or vice versa. The edges tell where objects are. their shape and size. and something about their texture. Many traditional edge operators are derivative based and perform reasonably well for simple noise-free images. In recent, statistical edge detectors for complex images with noises have been described. This paper compares and analysis the performance of statistical edge detectors based on the T test and Wilcoxon test, and mathematical edge detectors based on Sobel operator, and the well-known Canny detector and Wavelet transformation detector, and provides the implementation of these edge detectors using Java on the web.
