Abstract
Edge detection is a fundamental and important tool in image processing and computer vision. The research topic discusses edge extraction of a digital image using various digital image processing techniques. Digital image edge identification using variety of digital image processing methods. The most popular technique for identifying discontinuities in intensity levels is edge detection. The actual image contains noise that could affect the digital image's quality. Some edge detection filters were used such as Canny, Sobel, and Prewitt. Laplace of Gaussian (LOG) edge recognition, Robert boundary detection, zero edge recognition and analysis. In light of the results of the comparison of edge filters the best edge filter had been obtained. Also, a hybrid method that merges between Canny filter and morphology operations were produced for edge detection. The research aims to reach an appropriate image purification by using different types of filters and to reduce distortions at the edges of the image and to determine which type of filter is the best. As well as, a comparison operation is applied between the traditional method and the hybrid method. Following the results explained by the filters used and displaying the resulting images. The results evaluated from hybrid filter show that this method is optimal than the traditional filters based on the Blind/Reference less Image Spatial Quality Evaluator (BRISQUE) with a value equals 43.43. A smaller score indicates better perceptual quality. Also, the edged images quality consequences from the traditional filters were measured by this metric. The results produced from the traditional filters prove that the best filter for edge image detection is Canny filter based on Blind/Reference less Image Spatial Quality Evaluator (BRISQUE) that reaches 46.01. In addition, the correlation coefficient was estimated to find which of the resulting images are better and closer to the original image. While for correlation coefficient the better filter was Prewitt filter with 0.3133 value. This study program was applied under the MATLAB R2020b system.
