IMAGE PROCESSING ? EDGE DETECTION In image processing, Edge Detection is a fundamental tool based on mathematical methods to detect points in a digital image at which there is a huge variation in the brightness between each other. These points are organized in a line of segments which is called edges. The purpose of detecting those variations is to help analyze an image in the following aspects: discontinuities in depth? discontinuities in surface orientation? changes in material properties? variations in scene illumination. In an ideal case, edge detection would form perfect lines of the image. This would help specialists to have a very good idea of the real image without need many data (detailed information). It would reduce time processing, and also it would filter information less relevant in the picture. 1 2 / 5 / 2 0 1 6 F i n a l _ P r o j e c t _ E d g e _ D e t e c t i o n _ P a b l o B e r z o i n i In the figure above the edge detection method was applied.

Shi Et al [13] used a local projection profile at each pixel of the image, and transform the original image into an adaptive local connectivity map (ALCM). For this process, first the gray scale image is reversed so the foreground pixels (text) have idensity values of up to 255. Then the image is downsample to ¼ of each size, ½ in each direction. Next a sliding window of size 2c scans the image from left to right, and right to left in order to compute the cumulative idensity of every neighborhood. This technique is identical to computing the projection profile of every sliding window, (i.e. counting the foreground pixels), but instead of outpiting a projection profile histogram, the entire sliding window sum is saved on the ALCM image. Finaly

each related to a different segment of the image, and uses them to sort out the lightness values of the image. It is therefore proper for improving the local contrast of an image and bringing out more detail.A variant of adaptive histogram equalization called Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) prevents this by restricting the amplification.The form of a picture is rectangular. However, the shape of an eye is round because the rectangular representation contains the round eye; in the fundus image, the dark outside surface part which surroundings an eye appears. In general-purpose histogram equalization, the picture element of dark outside region is added to the histogram, so values of element close this dark outside region were less than the expected ones. CLAHE work on tiny regions, called tiles, while the generic algorithmic program works on the whole image. As the result of extremely dark and bright regions is limited to the local tile, a uniform image can be occur.[1]
Texture is one of the crucial primitives in human vision and texture features have been used to identify contents of images. Examples are identifying crop fields and mountains from aerial image domain. Moreover, texture can be used to describe contents of images, such as clouds, bricks, hair, etc. Both identifying and describing characteristics of texture are accelerated when texture is integrated with color, hence the details of the important features of image objects for human vision can be provided. One crucial distinction between color and texture features is that color is a point, or pixel, property, whereas texture is a local-neighborhood property. The main motivation for using texture is the identifying and describing
4 different thresholding algorithms are calculated and the one which covers results of other selected thresholds is applied on the optimal single-channel image
Padole et al. [PAD12] proposed an efficient technique for brain tumor detection. One of the maximum essential steps in tumor detection is segmentation. Combination of general algorithms, suggest shift and normalized cut is executed to hit upon the brain tumor surface area in MRI. Pre-processing step is first done by way of the use of the imply shift set of rules as a way to shape segmented regions. Inside the next step location nodes clustering are processed by way of n-cut approach. Inside the final step, the mind tumor is detected through element
T.F.Chen [9] segmentation is the process of portioning the images, where we need to find the particular portion, there are several methods segmentation such as active contour, etc. segmentation can be done both manually and automatically. Here the new technique of segmentation known as level sets segmentation are described, the level set segmentation reduces the problems of finding the curves which is enclose with respect to the region of interest. The implementation of this involves the normal speed and vector field, entropy condition etc. The implementation results produced was two different curves, which can be splitted.
One of the ultrasound image analysis is segmentation process to obtain the fetal biometric measurement. According to [4], an automatic segmentation technique on
We refer the interested reader to \cite{kaur2011survey,bedi2013various} for a review of image enhancement methods, to \cite{kaur2012comparative} for signal denoising methods, to \cite{854761,6248014} for region of interest detection, and to \cite{sagonas2013300,Zhang2014} for facial landmarks detection. In addition, we want to note that understanding this paper requires basic knowledge of machine-learning concepts such as feature (i.e., a measurable property of an object), feature vector (i.e., n-dimensional vector of numerical features), classifier's accuracy, and other performance evaluation techniques. A simple, yet comprehensive, explanation of these concepts can be found in
Since medical imaging process requires to have a lot of experience, the aim of this project is designing a MATLAB program that is capable of sharpening image by edge-detection, simple moving average filter, and noise reduction among other features to make it easy for the physician to do it on its own. For this particular project the usage of Kernel matrixes and other Matlab functions will be required in order to obtain the desire outcome [3]. Some of these results will be obtained by using convolution and other build-in function. In addition, this program will be user friendly for the physicians and any other clinical member.
There are many types of algorithm which were developed to cure brain Tumor detection. But few of them have different drawbacks for extraction and detection process. After the segmentation process which has been taken by fuzzy c-means and k-means clustering by doing this process the detection and extraction location are identified. By differentiate
Nowadays for image analysis graph based methods have been used which are useful for retinal vessel segmentation,retinal image registration and retinal vessel classification[2]. The segmented vessels are analyzed using type of intersection and then assigned artery or vein labels to each vessel segment. So the combination of labels and intensity features decides final artery or vein class.
Object detection in unorganized PCD. Nowadays, road features are becoming more complex, which leads having more complicated complaints in urban environments. Usually, PCD produces a wealthy set of data which need undergo a PCD process to identify and detect objects is in focus. It is important to extract objects, such as edges, pedestrians, curbs, and ends, from PCD. Over the last few years, many efforts have been made to detect objects, such as buildings, doors, etc. (Wang et al. 2014). Cluster analysis is one of the primary methods for enormous data analysis to detect objects, which is a massive PCD processing would help to recognize different natural grouping or structure. In the other word, the cluster can make a set of meaningful
In the medical field, currently various methods are used for the diagnosis of the cancer. Mostly the cancer specialist uses the gland structure for the diagnosis of the cancer patient. Hence the glandular structure observation is very important for the cancer patient disease diagnosis. For the disease diagnosis purpose we required the microscopic image of the gland. A single gland contains thousands of tissues and cells in it, some of them may be overlapped to each other. In this paper we used the, Saliency Map Method, for the segmentation of the input image given by the user. Then we have used the Visual Signal To Noise Ratio (VSNR) Method, This method is used to detect the overlapped cells and it also plays the important role to separate the overlapped cells. The VSNR method is also helps to detect the various features of the gland like area, eccentricity and the orientation of each cells present and detect the total area covered by cells in that image. from all above observations the pathologist can easily predict the disease.
The major advantage of the median filter is the edge preservation. It processes each signal individually and replaces the edges of the pixel with
