Edge detection plays an important role in medical image processing; its accuracy directly affects the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. In view of the shortcomings of the traditional Sobel algorithm, an improved Sobel edge detection algorithm is proposed in this paper. Algorithm increased 135 º and 45 º direction templates, used the local gradient and standard deviation to filter and strengthen the gradient of initial gradient image. Experiments show that the image edge detected by the new algorithm is relatively accurate, complete and clear compared with the traditional Sobel algorithm, which verifies the effectiveness of the new algorithm.

CANNY operator had widely usage for edge detection; however it also had certain deficiencies. So the traditional CANNY operator about this is improved and puts forward a kind of new algorithm used for image edge detection. Compared improved algorithm with traditional algorithm for edge detection, simulations shows that new algorithm is more effective for image edge detection and the clearer detection result is obtained.

Medical images edge detection is an important work for object recognition of the human organs and it is an important pre-processing step in medical image segmentation and reconstruction. Conventionally, edge is detected according to gradient-based algorithm and template-based algorithm, but they are not so good for noise medical image edge detection. In this paper, basic mathematical morphological theory and operations are introduced, and then a novel mathematical morphological edge detection algorithm is proposed to detect the edge of medical images with salt-and-pepper noise. The simulation results shows that the novel mathematical morphological edge detection algorithm is more efficient for image denoising and edge detection than the usually used template-based edge detection algorithms and general morphological edge detection algorithms. It has been observed that the proposed morphological edge detection algorithm performs better than sobel, prewitt, roberts and canny’s edge detection algorithm. In this paper the comparative analysis of various image edge detection techniques is presented using MATLAB 8.0 .

Medical imaging has become an important reference for the diagnosis of various diseases, and the role of medical imaging will become more and more important in the future. The interpretation of medical images is of paramount importance. With the continuous development of medical imaging technology, image interpretation has become more and more important. At present, it is directly inferred by doctors that in order to solve problems more effectively and deal with fuzzy data, it is necessary to research and implement an algorithm-based medical image edge detection assistant system. The current mainstream algorithms for edge detection include: Roberts, Sobel, Prewitt, etc. Most of these algorithms construct operators for small neighborhood pixels of the original image. The problem is that the algorithm is relatively sensitive to noise in the image and does not automatically select the appropriate threshold, resulting in a result that is not as expected. This is a disadvantage of current algorithms. The thesis elaborates on the theory and algorithm of image edge detection. At the same time, from the perspective of the original edge detection algorithm, the Canny algorithm is mainly studied, and the optimized MTM algorithm and Ostu algorithm are combined to study and optimize in the filtering denoising research. Finally, the algorithm is implemented in C++ language, which realizes the automatic extraction of the edge function of medical images under noise conditions. The improved algorithm performs an edge replacement effect change complared to the conventional algorithm.

The traditional Canny edge detection algorithm is analyzed in this paper. To overcome the difficulty of threshold selecting in Canny algorithm, an improved method based on Otsu algorithm and mathematical morphology is proposed to choose the threshold adaptively and simultaneously. This method applies the improved Canny operator and the image morphology separately to image edge detection, and then performs image fusion of the two results using the wavelet fusion technology to obtain the final edge-image. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has better anti-noise ability and effectively enhances the accuracy of image edge detection.

Showing a genuine 3 dimensional (3D) objects with the striking profundity data is dependably a troublesome and cost-devouring procedure. Speaking to 3D scene without a noise (raw image) is another case. With a honed technique for survey profundity measurement can be effortlessly gotten, without requiring any extraordinary instrument. In this paper, we have proposed an edge recognition process in a profundity picture dependent on the picture based smoothing and morphological activities.In this strategy, we have utilized the guideline of Median sifting, which has a prestigious element for edge safeguarding properties. The edge discovery was done dependent on the Canny Edge Detection Algorithm. Along these lines this strategy will help to identify edges powerfully from profundity pictures and add to advance applications top to bottom pictures

An edge detection algorithm is developed for coal gangue images, and the method has two advantages compared with traditional ones. Firstly, multi-resolution analysis of wavelet transform can improve the quality of edge detection. Secondly, the algorithm is faster for real time. Since the threshold directly from the coefficients of wavelet transform, the rate of recognition for coal gangue is highly raised. The experiment results show that the method is an efficient edge detection algorithm for extraction edges from the noised images of coal gangues.
