Soft Computing is a multifaceted technique comprising of Fuzzy Logic, Neural Network, Genetic algorithms and other Evolutionary computation. These paradigms have found wide variety of applications in the field of image processing. One of the most vital applications of image segmentation is edge detection where edge refers to the boundary between two consistent regions and edge detection is the process of detecting and finding abrupt discontinuities in an image. This paper summarizes hybrid and non-hybrid approaches for edge detection. The objective of this paper is to survey the core issues for soft computing based approaches for edge detection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
