In this thesis a novel edge detection technique is developed that employs compressed sensing image reconstruction techniques. The ability of compressed sensing noise reduction is combined with wavelet transforms, acting both as a sparsifying transform as well as an edge detection media. The proposed design was implemented and simulated on a brain phantom. The simulation results were provided for a variety of different sets of variables, and the differences were explained. The results obtained are compared with other edge detection techniques already in use. One important comparison criteria is the visual quality of images; according to which the proposed technique presents improved noise reduction and edge preservation. In addition to qualitative evaluation a method of quantitative measurement based on structural content is also utilized. It is found that the values for such a measure of the proposed method is 1.0755, 1.0174 and 0.5590 for Gaussian, Speckle, and Salt & Pepper noise types respectively. These results indicate that this novel method also improves edge preservation, while the visual quality inspection indicates how much noise has been suppressed.

This paper presents a possible way for improving the techniques of compressed sensing and parallel imaging techniques for brain MRI. Experimental tests have been performed over a phantom test image. An exclusive elliptical sampling mask has been generated, which in combination with double-density wavelet transforms offers improvement over the standard approach. Additional tests undertaken as part of this research propose the usage of nonlinear reconstruction method, generated elliptical sampling mask and double-density wavelet transform for application of compressed sensing to brain MRI. An assessment of the results for diagnostic usage has been done by a specialist of radiology.

The semantic segmentation of remote sensing images faces two major challenges: high inter-class similarity and interference from ubiquitous shadows. In order to address these issues, we develop a novel edge loss reinforced semantic segmentation network (ERN) that leverages the spatial boundary context to reduce the semantic ambiguity. The main contributions of this paper are as follows: (1) we propose a novel end-to-end semantic segmentation network for remote sensing, which involves multiple weighted edge supervisions to retain spatial boundary information; (2) the main representations of the network are shared between the edge loss reinforced structures and semantic segmentation, which means that the ERN simultaneously achieves semantic segmentation and edge detection without significantly increasing the model complexity; and (3) we explore and discuss different ERN schemes to guide the design of future networks. Extensive experimental results on two remote sensing datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach both in quantitative and qualitative evaluation. Specifically, the semantic segmentation performance in shadow-affected regions is significantly improved.

In today’s world, accurate and fast information is vital for safe aircraft landings. The purpose of an EMAS (Engineered Materials Arresting System) is to prevent an aeroplane from overrunning with no human injury and minimal damage to the aircraft. Although various algorithms for object detection analysis have been developed, only a few researchers have examined image analysis as a landing assist. Image intensity edges are employed in one system to detect the sides of a runway in an image sequence, allowing the runway’s 3-dimensional position and orientation to be approximated. A fuzzy network system is used to improve object detection and extraction from aerial images. In another system, multi-scale, multiplatform imagery is used to combine physiologically and geometrically inspired algorithms for recognizing objects from hyper spectral and/or multispectral (HS/MS) imagery. However, the similarity in the top view of runways, buildings, highways, and other objects is a disadvantage of these methods. We propose a new method for detecting and tracking the runway based on pattern matching and texture analysis of digital images captured by aircraft cameras. Edge detection techniques are used to recognize runways from aerial images. The edge detection algorithms employed in this paper are the Hough Transform, Canny Filter, and Sobel Filter algorithms, which result in efficient detection.

The CAD is a relatively young interdisciplinary technology, has had a tremendous impact on medical diagnosis specifically cancer detection. The accuracy of CAD to detect abnormalities on medical image analysis requires a robust segmentation algorithm. To achieve accurate segmentation, an efficient edge-detection algorithm is essential. Medical images like USG, X-Ray, CT and MRI exhibit diverse image characteristics but are essentially collection of intensity variations from which specific abnormalities are needed to be isolated. In this chapter a robust medical image enhancement and edge detection algorithm is proposed, using tree-based adaptive thresholding technique. It has been compared with different classical edge-detection techniques using one sample two tail t-test to exam whether the null hypothesis can be supported. The proposed edge-detection algorithm showing 0.07 p-values and 2.411 t-stat where α = 0.025. Moreover the proposed edge is single pixeled and connected which is very significant for medical edge detection.

Image segmentation is one of the fundamental problems in image processing. In digital image processing, there are many image segmentation techniques. One of the most important techniques is Edge detection techniques for natural image segmentation. Edge is a one of the basic feature of an image. Edge detection can be used as a fundamental tool for image segmentation. Edge detection methods transform original images into edge images benefits from the changes of grey tones in the image. The image edges include a good number of rich information that is very significant for obtaining the image characteristic by object recognition and analyzing the image. In a gray scale image, the edge is a local feature that, within a neighborhood, separates two regions, in each of which the gray level is more or less uniform with different values on the two sides of the edge. In this paper, the main objective is to study the theory of edge detection for image segmentation using various computing approaches.
