scholarly journals Edge Based Segmentation in Medical Images

Image segmentation is the method to fragment a given image into a number of Regions or objects. The level of detail to which the partition is carried depends on the problem being solved. Edge detection is mostly used techniques in digital image processing. Edge detection will preserve the structural properties of an image and filter out unwanted dsata. In this paper, Edge detection methods such as Sobel, Prewitt, Robert, Canny, and Laplacian of Gaussian (LOG) are used. These methods are used in image segmentation. Edge detection can be enhanced by combining with denoised image. Wiener filter, Gaussian Filter and Median Filters are used for noise reductionS. The results of various methods are analyzed by implemented in MATLAB.

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.

This study aims to identify chicken egg embryos with the concept of image processing. This concept uses input and output in images. Thus the identification process, which was originally carried out using manual observation, was developed by computerization. Digital images are applied in identification by various image preprocessing, image segmentation, and edge detection methods. Based on these three methods, image processing has three processes: image grayscaling (convert to a grayscale image), image adjustment, and image enhancement. Image adjustment aims to clarify the image based on color correction. Meanwhile, image enhancement improves image quality, using histogram equalization (HE) and Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization methods (CLAHE). Specifically for the image enhancement method, the CLAHE-HE combination is used for the improvement process. At the end of the process, the method used is edge detection. In this method, there is a comparison of various edge detection operators such as Roberts, Prewitt, Sobel, and canny. The results of edge detection using these four methods have the SSIM value respectively 0.9403; 0.9392; 0.9394; 0.9402. These results indicate that the SSIM values ​​of the four operators have the same or nearly the same value. Thus, the edge detection method can provide good edge detection results and be implemented because the SSIM value is close to 1.00 (more than 0.93). Image segmentation detected object (egg and embryo), and the continued process by edge detection showed clearly edge of egg and embryo.

Abstract An X-ray scanning and image processing have a vast range of applications in the security. An image of a content of some package being passed for example to an airplane or to the court house may help to figure out if there are any dangerous objects inside that package and to avoid possible threatening situation. As the raw X-ray images are not always easy to analyze and interpret, some image processing methods like an object detection, a frequency resolution increase or a pseudocolouring are being used. In this paper, we propose a pseudocoloring improvement over material based approach. By addition of the edge detection methods we fill and sharpen colour layers over the image, making it easier to interpret. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the methods using real data, acquired from a professional dual energy X-ray scanner.

Most basic and recent image edge detection methods are based on exploiting spatial high-frequency to localize efficiency the boundaries and image discontinuities. These approaches are strictly sensitive to noise, and their performance decrease with the increasing noise level. This research suggests a novel and robust approach based on a binomial Gaussian filter for edge detection. We propose a scheme-based Gaussian filter that employs low-pass filters to reduce noise and gradient image differentiation to perform edge recovering. The results presented illustrate that the proposed approach outperforms the basic method for edge detection. The global scheme may be implemented efficiently with high speed using the proposed novel binomial Gaussian filter.

Identification of object boundaries in a digital image is developing rapidly in line with advances in computer technology for image processing. Edge detection becomes important because humans in recognizing the object of an image will pay attention to the edges contained in the image. Edge detection of an image is done because the edge of the object in the image contains very important information, the information obtained can be either size or shape. The edge detection method used in this study is Sobel operator, Prewitt operator, Laplace operator, Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) operator and Kirsch operator which are compared and analyzed in the five methods. The results of the comparison show that the clear margins are the Sobel, Prewitt and Kirsch operators, with PSNR calculations that produce values ​​above 30 dB. Laplace and LoG operators only have an average PSNR value below 30 dB. Other quality comparisons use the histogram value and the contrast value with the highest value results in the Laplace and LoG operators with an average histogram value of 110 and a contrast value of 24. The lowest histogram and contrast value are owned by the Sobel and Prewitt operators.

The digital image processing is one way to manipulate one or more digital images. Image segmentation has an essential role in the field of image analysis. The aim of this study was to develop an application to perform digital image processing of neutron digital radiographic images, hoping to improve the image quality of the digital images produced. The quality of edge detection could be used for the introduction of neutron digital radiographic image patterns through artificial intelligence. Interaction of neutrons with the matter mainly by nuclear reaction, elastic, and inelastic scattering. A neutron can quickly enter into a nucleus of an atom and cause a reaction. It is because a neutron has no charge. Neutrons can be used for digital imaging due to high-resolution information from deep layers of the material. The attenuated neutron beam in neutron radiography are passing through the investigated object. The object in a uniform neutron beam is irradiated to obtain an image neutron. The technique used in segmenting the neutron radiography in this study was a digital technique using a camera with a charge-coupled device (CCD), which was deemed more efficient technique compared to the conventional one. Through this technique, images could be displayed directly on the monitor without going through the film washing process. Edge detection methods were implemented in the algorithm program. It was the first step to complement the image information where edges characterize object boundaries. It is useful for the process of segmenting and identifying objects in neutron digital radiography images. The edge detection methods used in this study were Sobel, Prewitt, Canny, and Laplacian of Gaussian. According to the results of the image that have been tested for edge detection, the best image was carried out by the Canny operator because the method is more explicit. The obtained edges were more connected than the other methods which are still broken. The Canny technique provided edge gradient orientation which resulted in a proper localization.

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.
