Image processing is known as the process of converting an image into a digital form so as to obtain an enhanced image and to extract useful information from it. This paper presents a simple step by step analysis of edges-based lane detection. Some of the known and common edge detection techniques such as Sobel, Canny, Prewitt and Roberts were studied and evaluated using image segmentation, morphology, image statistic and Hough Transform. The result indicated some similarities in the process as well as major differences. These differences were observed to be as a result of the high sensitivity of the edge detector in detecting noise such as cast shadows and unmarked lanes. This could be noticed in the case of canny edge detector. Also these data could be considered in the development of a multi-system edge detector, which could be used to analyze various road scenes and runs the appropriate edge detector best suited for the current situation.

The video images of road monitoring system contain noise, which blurs the difference between the lane and the background. The lane detection algorithm based on traditional Canny edge detector hardly detects the single-pixel lane accurately and it produces pseudo lane. The paper proposes an effective lane detection method based on improved Canny edge detector and least square fitting. The proposed method improves the dual-threshold selection of traditional Canny detector by using the histogram concavity analysis, which sets the optimal threshold automatically. The least square method is used to fit the feature points of detected edges to accurate and single-pixel wide lane. Experimental results show that the proposed method detects the lane of video images accurately in the noise environment.

The capability to detect edges in an image is a major component in the field of image processing. That being said one of the most commonly utilized methods for edge detection is the Canny edge detection algorithm. In this paper we outline and define what edge detection is in image processing, and how the Canny edge detector works in typical implementations. We briefly refer to other papers which have similarly looked into optimizing the Canny edge detector and then propose our own hypothesis on how to parallelize this algorithm via multithreading. Our current code implementation is then explained alongside current results and issues.

For any image identification based applications, edge detection is the primary step. The intention of the edge detection in image processing is to minimize the information that is not required in the analysis of identification of an image. In the process of reduction of insignificant data in the image, it may lead to some loss in information which in turn raise some problems like missing of boundaries with low contrast, false edge detection and some other noise affected problems. In order to reduce the effects due to noise, a modified version of popular edge detection algorithm “Canny edge detection algorithm” is proposed. Artix 7 FPGA board set up is used to implement, by using Xilinx platform the image that is obtained as output is displayed on monitor which is connected with FPGA board using connector port DVI. MATLAB Simulink is used for algorithm simulation and then it is executed on FPGA board using Xilinx platform. The results provide good motivation to use in different edge detection applications.

Fast edge detection of images can be useful for many real-world applications. Edge detection is not an end application but often the first step of a computer vision application. Therefore, fast and simple edge detection techniques are important for efficient image processing. In this work, we propose a new edge detection algorithm using a combination of the wavelet transform, Shannon Entropy and thresholding. The new algorithm is based on the concept that each Wavelet decomposition level has an assumed level of structure that enables the use of Shannon entropy as a measure of global image structure. The proposed algorithm is developed mathematically and compared to five popular edge detection algorithms. The results show that our solution is low redundancy, noise resilient, and well suited to real-time image processing applications.

Lane detection is a developing technology that is implemented in vehicles to enable autonomous navigation. Most lane detection systems are designed for roads with proper structure relying on the existence of markings. The main shortcoming of these approaches is that they might give inaccurate results or not work at all in situations involving unclear markings or the absence of them. In this study one such approach for detecting lanes on an unmarked road is reviewed followed by an improved approach. Both the approaches are based on digital image processing techniques and purely work on vision or camera data. The main aim is to obtain a real time curve value to assist the driver/autonomous vehicle for taking required turns and not go off the road.

Digital image processing technology is widely used in production and life, and digital images play a pivotal role in the ever-changing technological development. Noise can affect the expression of image information. The edge is the reflection of the main structure and contour of the image, and it is also the direct interpretation of image understanding and the basis for further segmentation and recognition. Therefore, suppressing noise and improving the accuracy of edge detection are important aspects of image processing. To address these issues, this paper presents a new detection algorithm combined with information fusion based on the existing image edge detection techniques, and the algorithm is studied from two aspects of fuzzy radial basis fusion discrimination, in terms of preprocessing algorithm, comparing the denoising effect of mean and median filters with different template sizes on paper images with added noise, and selecting the improved median filter denoising, comparing different operator edge detection. The effect of image edge detection contour is finally selected as the 3 ∗ 3 Sobel operator for edge detection; the binarized image edge detection contour information is found as the minimum outer rectangle and labeled, and then, the original paper image is scanned line by line to segment the target image edge region. The image edge detection algorithm based on fuzzy radial basis fuser can not only speed up the image preprocessing, meet the real-time detection, and reduce the amount of data processed by the upper computer but also can accurately identify five image edge problems including folds and cracks, which has good application prospects.

Blood-related diseases are one of the most widespread and rampant vector-borne diseases in tropical countries like India. With an ever-increasing population and enormous stress on resources like land and water, new avenues open for insects like mosquitoes to breed and propagate the virus. The traditional lab method for the detection of diseases in a human's anatomy involves extracting the blood and subjecting it to various tests to count and detect the number of blood cells. An abnormally low platelet count would indicate the presence of the virus in the body. The usual method undertaken by labs all over the world is the use of the conventional chemical procedures, which may take a few hours to produce the result. The proposed system for the low cost estimating of RBC and WBC is developed using image processing techniques and canny edge detection algorithm. The obtained results are analysed and compared with the conventional methods, and results are obtained with an accuracy of 91.2.

Intravenous drip diffusion is a common practice to treat patients in hospitals. During treatment, nurses must check the condition of the infusion bag frequently before running out of fluid. This research proposes a novel method of checking the infusion bag using an image processing technique on a compact Raspberry PI platform. The infusion monitoring system proposed here is based solely on capturing the image of the infusion bag and the accompanying bag/ tube. When the infusion fluid enters the patient, the surface of the liquid will decrease, and at the end will reach the bottom of the infusion bag. When the image of the fluid surface touches the bottom of the infusion bag, a mechanism will trigger a relay, and then activate a pinch valve to stop the flow of the infusion fluid before it runs out. The entire system incorporates a digital camera and Raspberry as the image processor. The surface of the liquid is determined using the Canny Edge Detection algorithm, and its relative position in the tube is determined using the Hough Line Transform. The raw picture of the infusion bag and the processed image are then sent via a wireless network to become part of a larger system and can be monitored via a simple smartphone equipped with the proper application, thus becoming an Internet of Things (IoT). With this approach, nurses can carry on other tasks in caring for the patients while this system substitutes some work on checking the infusion fluid.
