Edge Detection Techniques: Evaluations and Comparison 论文

摘要

Edge detection is one of the most commonly used operations in image analysis, and there are probably more algorithms in the literature for enhancing and detecting edges than any other single subject. The reason for this is that edges form the outline of an object. An edge is the boundary between an object and the background, and indicates the boundary between overlapping objects. This means that if the edges in an image can be identified accurately, all of the objects can be located and basic properties such as area, perimeter, and shape can be measured. Since computer vision involves the identification and classification of objects in an image, edge detections is an essential tool. In this paper, we have compared several techniques for edge detection in image processing. We consider various well-known measuring metrics used in image processing applied to standard images in this comparison.
