Edge detection and segmentation for machine vision
J. Chittooru, Ranjith Munasinghe, A. Davari · 2005
In this paper, we present a novel method called coloring technique for image segmentation. Coloring technique uses the edges detected by the Sobel operator and in many cases successfully identifies the object boundary. This method can be used to eliminate unimportant edges in the background created by clutter and noise while preserving the edges inside the object boundary. The results show that the new method yields superior segmentations compared to conventional segmentation methods.
