Edge detection is a major step in several computer vision applications. Edges define the shape of objects to be used in a recognition system, for example. In this work, we introduce an approach to edge detection inspired by a challenge for artists: the Speed Drawing Challenge. In this challenge, a person is asked to draw the same figure in different times (as 10[Formula: see text]min, 1[Formula: see text]min and 10[Formula: see text]s); at each time, different levels of details are drawn by the artist. In a short time stamp, just the major elements remain. This work proposes a new approach for producing images with different amounts of edges representing different levels of relevance. Our method uses superpixel to suppress image details, followed by Globalized Probability of Boundary (gPb) and Canny edge detection algorithms to create an image containing different number of edges. After that, an edge analysis step detects whose edges are the most relevant for the scene. The results are presented for the BSDS500 dataset and they are compared to other edge and contour detection algorithms by quantitative and qualitative means with very satisfactory results.

The crack can occur in any bone ofour body. Broken bone is a bone condition that endured a breakdown of bone trustworthiness. The Fracture can't recognize effortlessly by the bare eye, so it is found in the x-beam images. The motivation behind this task is to find the precise territory where the bone fracture happens utilizing X-Ray Bone Fracture Detection by Canny Edge Detection Method. Shrewd Edge Detection technique is an ideal edge identification calculation on deciding the finish of a line with alterable limit and less error rate. The reproduction results have indicated how canny edge detection can help decide area of breaks in x-beam images. In the base paper, the cracked bit is chosen physically to defeat this downside, the proposed technique identify the bone fracture consequently and furthermore it quantifies the parameter like length of the crack, profundity of the fracture and the situation of the crack as for even and vertical pivot. The outcome demonstrates that the proposed technique for crack identification is better. The outcomes demonstrate that calculation is 91% exact and effective

Retinal layer thickness measurement offers important information for reliable diagnosis of retinal diseases and for the evaluation of disease development and medical treatment responses. This task critically depends on the accurate edge detection of the retinal layers in OCT images. Here, we intended to search for the most suitable edge detectors for the retinal OCT image segmentation task. The three most promising edge detection algorithms were identified in the related literature: Canny edge detector, the two-pass method, and the EdgeFlow technique. The quantitative evaluation results show that the two-pass method outperforms consistently the Canny detector and the EdgeFlow technique in delineating the retinal layer boundaries in the OCT images. In addition, the mean localization deviation metrics show that the two-pass method caused the smallest edge shifting problem. These findings suggest that the two-pass method is the best among the three algorithms for detecting retinal layer boundaries. The overall better performance of Canny and two-pass methods over EdgeFlow technique implies that the OCT images contain more intensity gradient information than texture changes along the retinal layer boundaries. The results will guide our future efforts in the quantitative analysis of retinal OCT images for the effective use of OCT technologies in the field of ophthalmology.

Arabic vehicle number plate identification based on image processing is a dynamic area of this work; this technique is used for security purposes such as tracking of stolen cars and access control to restricted areas. The License Plate Recognition System (LPRS) exploits a digital camera to capture vehicle plate numbers is used as input to the proposed recognition system. Basically, the proposed system consists of three phases, vehicle license plate localization, character segmentation, and character recognition, the License Plate (LP) detection is presented using canny edge detection algorithm, Connect Component Analysis (CCA) have been exploited for segmenting characters. Finally, a Multi-Layer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network (MLPANN) model is utilized to identify and detect the vehicle license plate characters, and hence the results are displayed as a text on GUI.

The remote sensing domain has witnessed tremendous growth in the past decade, due to advancement in technology. In order to store and process such a large amount of data, a platform like Hadoop is leveraged. This article proposes a MapReduce (MR) approach to perform edge detection of satellite images using a nature-inspired algorithm Artificial Bee Colony (ABC). Edge detection is one of the significant steps in the field of image processing and is being used for object detection in the image. The article also compares two edge detection approaches on Hadoop with respect to scalability parameters such as scaleup and speedup. The experiment makes use of Amazon AWS Elastic MapReduce cluster to run MR jobs. It focuses on traditional edge detection algorithms like Canny Edge (CE) and the proposed MR based Artificial Bee Colony approach. It observes that for five images, the scaleup value of CE is 1.1 whereas, for MR-ABC, it is 1.2. Similarly, speedup values come out to be 1.02 and 1.04, respectively. The algorithm proposed by authors in this article scales comparatively better when compared to Canny Edge.
