Image enhancement is a crucial pre-processing step to be performed for various applications where object recognition, identification, verification is required. Among various image enhancement methods, edge enhancement has taken its importance as it is widely used for understanding features in an image. Several types of edge detectors are available for certain types of edges. If edges are enhanced and clear, the reliability for feature extraction increases. The Quality of edge detection can be measured from several criteria objectively. In this paper, a novel algorithm for edge enhancement has been proposed for multiple types of images. The features can be extracted clearly by using this method. For comparison purpose Roberts, Sobel, Prewitt, Canny, and Log edge operators are used and their results are displayed. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Peeling fibre is an indispensable process in the production of preserved Szechuan pickle, the accuracy of which can significantly influence the quality of the products, and thus the contour method of fibre detection, as a core algorithm of the automatic peeling device, is studied. The fibre contour is a kind of non-salient contour, characterized by big intra-class differences and small inter-class differences, meaning that the feature of the contour is not discriminative. The method called dilated-holistically-nested edge detection (Dilated-HED) is proposed to detect the fibre contour, which is built based on the HED network and dilated convolution. The experimental results for our dataset show that the Pixel Accuracy (PA) is 99.52% and the Mean Intersection over Union (MIoU) is 49.99%, achieving state-of-the-art performance.

Edge detection and thresholding segmentation algorithms are presented and tested with variety of grayscale images in different fields. In order to analyze and evaluate the quality of image segmentation, Root Mean Square Error is used. The smaller error value is, the better image segmentation effect is. The experimental results show that a segmentation method is not suitable for all images segmentation.

Image processing is the use of algorithms to perform various operations on digital images. The techniques that are explained further are image segmentation and image enhancement. Image Segmentation is a method to partition an image into multiple segments, to change the presentation of an image into something more meaningful and easier to analyze. The current image segmentation techniques include region-based segmentation and edge detection segmentation. Image Enhancement is the process of improving the quality of image. Under this section there are two broad divisions- Spatial Domain Technique and Frequency Domain Technique.

Shape is the inherence characteristic of an object in the image, and it is the important character used for the object recognition. So it is significant for object recognition based on shape. This paper presents a contour-based method of feature extraction and shape recognition. First the object contour is translated into a 1-D contour curve. Secondly the curve is smoothed to restrain the noise. The number of peaks of the curve is achieved as well as the areas which contained between adjacent peak-valley, then the latter is followed by Discrete Fourier Transformation (DFT). Then two kinds of features ate extracted which are invariant to translation, scaling and rotation transformations. By using the features, a two-stake recursive algorithm for recognition is proposed. Experimental results show that this method is simple and efficient.

Because of lighting or the quality of CMOS/CCD, poor images are often gained, which greatly affect subjective observation. Image enhancement can improve the contrast of poor image. In our paper, we propose a new image enhancement algorithm based on frequency analysis. A central energy of FFT is utilized for computation of image enhancement factors. A linear mapping is used for image mapping. Finally, some experimental results are shown for illustration of our algorithm advantage.

The paper proposed a novel compact genetic algorithm which is named as pseudo-parallel compact genetic algorithm. There are two populations in the process of evolution, and the two subpopulation can exchange information between each other. The experimental results show that the novel algorithm performs better than simple genetic algorithm. Then it is used to solve weapon target allocation (WTA) problem, and the simulation result shows that it is more efficient comparing with other methods. Because the compact genetic algorithm is easy to operate and take up less memory, so the algorithm exhibit a better quality of solution and the required less time than before.

Iamge repair using the digital image processing technology has become a new research point in computer application. A novel method of local statistic enhancement based on genetic algorithm is proposed in this paper for the image enhancement. The modified amplified function are used as the jugement criterion, and the optimal paremeters are searched by the genetic algorithm. Experimental results show that the quality of images is improved dramatically by using this method.


In our proposed work, the developed Acoustic Unmanned Vehicle(AUV) moves in the direction of up/down. In general AUV is mainly used to for visual observation of the underwater environment by using a web camera. The acquired data from the AUV was preprocessed and the same image used for enhancement.. In this project, the image enhancement alogrithms has been implemented and the same has been computed for Canny Edge Detection, Hue, Luma and Saturation. From these computed results, we are able to enhance the quality of images for the conditions like low depth, low light intensity and color contrasting has been achieved using LABVIEW.
