A Nonlinear Directional Derivative Scheme for Edge Detection
Muammer Çatak · International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE) · 2012
In this paper, a new one-stage nonlinear directional derivative scheme has been proposed for edge detection. The directional edge detection method was applied to gray and color images. The results were compared to three well-known conventional edge detectors namely Canny, Prewitt, and Sobel. The directional derivative method is an efficient edge detection tool especially in capturing details. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v2i4.750
