Overview on Edge Detection Methods
Diplaxmi R. Waghule, Rohini S. Ochawar · 2014
Edge in an image is a contour across which the brightness of the image changes abruptly. Edge detection plays a vital role in image processing. Edge detection is a process that detects the presence and location of edges constituted by sharp changes in intensity of the image. An important property of the edge detection method is its ability to extract the accurate edge line with good orientation. Different edge detectors work better under different conditions. Comparative evaluation of different methods of edge detection makes it easy to decide which edge detection method is appropriate for image segmentation. This paper presents an overview of the published work on edge detection.
