An Effective Image Edge Detection Algorithm – Fuzzy Box-Counting
Edge detection plays an important role in computer vision and image processing. Fractal and Fuzzy theory show significant effect in the edge detection and have attracted much attention. Compared with traditional edge detection methods, this paper proposes a Fuzzy Box-counting Dimension Method (FBDM). This algorithm introduces the pre-judging mechanism to improve the speed of image segmentation, and the self-adaptive dimension threshold and the voting mechanism under multi-windows to improve the accuracy of the determination of edge points. Finally, closest principle is used to clear edge and reduce noise. Experimental results show FBDM can improve the precision of image edge detection effectively without pretreatment, and it has a very superior de-noising performance.
