Algorithms for Edge Detection – CSE Seminar Report
Introduction
Edge detection is a fundamental image processing technique used to identify boundaries within an image. It plays a crucial role in various computer vision applications like object recognition, image segmentation, and image enhancement. There are numerous algorithms available for edge detection, each with its advantages and disadvantages.
Problem Statement
The main challenge in edge detection algorithms is to accurately detect edges while minimizing noise and computational complexity. The existing algorithms may not always perform well in certain conditions, leading to inaccurate edge detection.
Existing System
Some of the popular edge detection algorithms include Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts Cross, Canny, and Laplacian of Gaussian. Each of these algorithms has its approach to detecting edges based on gradient calculation, convolution masks, and thresholding techniques. While these algorithms are widely used, they may suffer from issues like sensitivity to noise, difficulty in setting threshold values, and performance variation across different image types.
Disadvantages
The existing edge detection algorithms may produce false positives and false negatives, leading to inaccurate edge detection. They may also struggle with detecting edges in low contrast or noisy images, requiring additional preprocessing steps. Moreover, some algorithms are computationally intensive and may not be suitable for real-time applications.
