Adaptive Edge Detection Method for Image Polluted Using Canny Operator and Otsu Threshold Selection

Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive edge detection method (Canny operator and Otsu threshold selection based adaptive edge detection method - COAED) is proposed. The COAED method combines a new hybrid filter with Canny operator to avoid the conflict of Canny operator between noise removing and edge locating, and uses Otsu threshold selection method to determine Dual-threshold of Canny operator adaptively. The new hybrid filter firstly judges whether the pixel is polluted by impulse noise, and then uses a corresponding filter to process the current pixel. A median filter is used if the pixel is thought to be impulse noise; otherwise an improved mean filter is selected to weaken the Gaussian noise. After the image is smoothed by the hybrid filter, a Canny operator with small Gaussian variance is used to extract edge. Because only part of Gaussian noise remains, Canny operator with small Gaussian variance can suppress the noise and preserve the edge effectively. Using the gauge image polluted by hybrid noise as experiment object, the performance of COAED method is evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. Experimental results show that the COAED method is superior to Canny operator.

A Framework for Using UAVs to Detect Pavement Damage Based on Optimal Path Planning and Image Splicing

“…The most common methods used in morphology and dimension extraction operations of diseases is edge detection processing. There are two common edge detection operators, Canny and Otsu [44][45][46], among which the Canny operator works better for square pictures [47].…”

Remote sensing classification approach to large‐scale crop cultivation identification: A case study of the Aral Sea Basin

“…(2021). The Otsu automated thresholding algorithm can perform segmentation more easily and more precisely than manual segmentations by automatically segmenting the results of the Canny operator edge detection, thus further improving the field‐edge segmentation effects (Fang et al., 2009). Therefore, the proposed field‐edge segmentation method based on time series Sentinel‐2 images can accurately identify field edges at large scales.…”

Klasifikasi Rasa Jeruk Siam Berdasarkan Warna Dan Tekstur Berbasis Pengolahan Citra Digital

“…Citra ini dipilih karena memiliki tingkat perbedaan warna yang cukup tinggi antara area objek dan background. Seperti diketahui bahwa prinsip kerja dari metode Otsu adalah mencari nilai threshold atau titik potong paling tepat secara otomatis pada histogram citra untuk membedakan area objek dan background [14]. Tingginya tingkat perbedaan warna antara area objek dan background pada channel Red mengakibatkan terbentuknya dua area utama yang cukup berjauhan pada histogram yang dihasilkan.…”
