  • Edge detection is used in many applications such as image analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision. Existing edge detection methods, there is such Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, and LoG(Laplacian of Gaussian). In the conventional edge detection method, edge detection is insufficient because the change of the pixel brightness is small when the original image is in low illumination. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a function to convert the pixel brightness of low illumination image to solve this problem. And it was compared by applying the conventional methods Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, LoG(Laplacian of Gaussian) to determine the performance of the pixel brightness transform function.

  • Edge detection is one of image processing techniques applied for a variety of purposes in a number of areas and it is used as a necessary pretreatment process in most applications. Detect this edge has been conducted in various fields at domestic and international. In the conventional edge detection methods, there are Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and LoG, etc using a fixed weights mask. Since conventional edge detection methods apply the images to the fixed weights mask, the edge detection characteristics appear somewhat insufficient. Therefore in this study, to complement this, preprocessing using gray-level transformation function and algorithm finding final edge using maximum and minimum value of estimated mask by local mask are proposed. And in order to assess the performance of proposed algorithm, it was compared with a conventional Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt and LoG edge detection methods.

  • In this digital information era, utilization of images are essential for various media, and the edge is an important characteristical information of an object in images that includes the size, location, direction and etc. Many domestic and international studies are being conducted in order to detect these edge. Existing edge detection methods include Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Laplacian, LoG and etc. which apply fixed weight value. As these existing edge detection methods apply fixed weight mask to the image, edge detection characteristic appears slightly insufficient. Accordingly, in order to supplement these problems, this study used bottom-hat transformation from mathematical morphology and opening operation in improving the image and proposed an algorithm that detects for the edge after calculating mask-based gradient. And to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, a comparison was made against the existing Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt, Laplacian, LoG edge detection methods, in illustrating visual images, and similarities were compared by calculating the MSE value based on the standard of each image.

In the conventional edge detection methods, there are Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and LoG, etc using a fixed weights mask. Since conventional edge detection methods apply the images to the fixed weights mask, the edge detection characteristics appear somewhat insufficient. Therefore in this study, an algorithm for detecting the edge is proposed by applying the cross mask based on the center pixel and up, down, left and right mask based on the surrounding pixels of center pixel in order to solve these problems. And in order to assess the performance of proposed algorithm, it was compared with a conventional Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt and LoG edge detection methods.

  • Edge has been utilized in various application fields with development of technique of digital image processing. In conventional edge detection methods, there are some methods using mask including Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts and Laplacian operator. Those methods are that implement is simple but generates errors of edge detection in images added AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise). Therefore, to compensate the defect of those methods, in this paper, an edge detection algorithm using modified mask is proposed, and it showed superior edge detection property in AWGN.

  • This paper proposes a new image enhancement method for an infrared thermal image. The proposed method uses both Laplacian and Prewitt edge detectors. Without a visible light, it uses an infrared image for the edge detection. The method subtracts contour images from the infrared thermal image. It results black contours of objects in the infrared thermal image. That makes the objects in the infrared thermal image distinguished clearly. The proposed method is implemented using C language in an embedded Linux system for a high-speed real-time image processing. Experiments were conducted by using various infrared thermal images. The results show that the proposed method is successful for image enhancement of an infrared thermal image.

  • Edge detection of image for performing the road lane recognition is an essential preprocessing. Various studies are being performed in order to detect such edge and there are conventional edge detection methods such as Sobel, Prewitt and Roberts. Such methods regardless of pixel distribution are processed by applying the same weighted value to the entire pixels and show a somewhat insufficient edge detection results. Therefore, this paper has proposed an algorithm that detects the edge using the suitable weighted value for the road lane recognition considering the pixel distribution shape of the image.
