This paper presents a biometric technique for identification of a person using the iris image. The iris is first segmented from the acquired image of an eye using an edge detection algorithm. The disk shaped area of the iris is transformed into a rectangular form. Described moments are extracted from the grayscale image which yields a feature vector containing scale, rotation, and translation invariant moments. Images are clustered using the k-means algorithm and centroids for each cluster are computed. An arbitrary image is assumed to belong to the cluster whose centroid is the nearest to the feature vector in terms of Euclidean distance computed. The described model exhibits an accuracy of 98.5%.

For the problem of difficult to detect the edge in the surface image processing, we used the Euclidean distance from the selected pixels in the corner of the neighborhood window to the centre point of that to measure the extent of being edge, and then search for suitable threshold to extract the expected edge pixels. This algorithm can extract target information better, while also inhibiting the background interference, and it is a good algorithm which is worthy of further exploration

Bone image segmentation is the important technology for computer aided bone diagnosis system and the foundation for three-dimensional visualization of the human skeleton. Agent searching edge detection algorithm for bone images is proposed. Based on neighbor region correlation and regional harmonic mean feature vector correlation, different species of agent accomplish searching bone edge and experimental results are satisfactory. Experimental results comparison about the proposed algorithm, Prewitt, Sobel, Log and Canny is illustrated that demonstrates the proposed algorithm has advantages in some respects.

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) refers to the presence of typical retinal micro vascular lesions in persons with diabetics. When the disease is at the early state, a prompt diagnosis may help in preventing irreversible damages to the diabetic eye. If the exudates are closer to macula, then the situation is critical. Early detection can potentially reduce the risk of blind.  This paper proposes tool for the early detection of Diabetic Retinopathy using edge detection, algorithm kmeans in segmentation phase, invariant moments (Hu and Affine) and descriptor GIST in extraction phase. In the recognition phase, neural network is adopted. All tests are applied on database DIARETDB1.

The coal-rock interface recognition is one of the critical automated technologies in the fully mechanized mining face. The poor working conditions underground result in the seriously polluted edge information of the coal-rock interface, which affects the positioning precision of the shearer drum. The Gaussian filter parameters and the high-low thresholds are difficult to select in the traditional Canny algorithm, which causes the information loss of gradual edge and the phenomenon of false edge. Consequently, this paper presents an improved Canny edge detection algorithm, which adopts the adaptive median filtering algorithm to calculate the thresholds of Canny algorithm according to the grayscale mean and variance mean. This algorithm can protect the image edge details better and can restrain the blurred image edge. Experimental results show that this algorithm has improved the edge extraction effect under the case of noise interference and improved the detection precision and accuracy of the coal-rock image effectively.
