Comparison of Segmentation Algorithms and Estimation of Optimal Segmentation ...Pinaki Ranjan Sarkar
Recent advancement in sensor technology allows very high spatial resolution along with multiple spectral bands. There are many studies, which highlight that Object Based Image Analysis(OBIA) is more accurate than pixel-based classification for high resolution(< 2m) imagery. Image segmentation is a crucial step for OBIA and it is a very formidable task to estimate optimal parameters for segmentation as it does not have any unique solution. In this paper, we have studied different segmentation algorithms (both mono-scale and multi-scale) for different terrain categories and showed how the segmented output depends on upon various parameters. Later, we have introduced a novel method to estimate optimal segmentation parameters. The main objectives of this study are to highlight the effectiveness of presently available segmentation techniques on very high-resolution satellite data and to automate segmentation process. Pre-estimation of segmentation parameter is more practical and efficient in OBIA. Assessment of segmentation algorithms and estimation of segmentation parameters are examined based on the very high-resolution multi-spectral WorldView-3(0.3m, PAN sharpened) data.

A Fuzzy Set Approach for Edge DetectionCSCJournals
Image segmentation is one of the most studied problems in image analysis, computer vision, pattern recognition etc. Edge detection is a discontinuity based approach used for image segmentation. In this paper, an edge detection using fuzzy set is proposed, where an image is considered as a fuzzy set and pixels are taken as elements of fuzzy set. The fuzzy approach converts the color image to a partially segmented image; finally an edge detector is convolved over the partially segmented image to obtain an edged image. The approach is implemented using MATLAB 7.11. (R2010b). For qualitative and quantitative comparison, BSD (Berkeley Segmentation Database) images are used for experimentation. Performance parameters used are PSNR (dB) and Performance ratio (PR) of true to false edges. It has been shown that the proposed approach performs better than Canny’s edge detection algorithm under almost all scenarios. The proposed approach reduces false edge detection and double edges.

Comparative Analysis of Common Edge Detection Algorithms using Pre-processing...IJECEIAES
Edge detection is the process of segmenting an image by detecting discontinuities in brightness. Several standard segmentation methods have been widely used for edge detection. However, due to inherent quality of images, these methods prove ineffective if they are applied without any preprocessing. In this paper, an image pre-processing approach has been adopted in order to get certain parameters that are useful to perform better edge detection with the standard edge detection methods. The proposed preprocessing approach involves median filtering to reduce the noise in image and then edge detection technique is carried out. Finally, Standard edge detection methods can be applied to the resultant pre-processing image and its Simulation results are show that our pre-processed approach when used with a standard edge detection method enhances its performance.

Hardware Unit for Edge Detection with Comparative Analysis of Different Edge ...paperpublications3
Abstract: An edge in an image is a contour across which the brightness of the image changes abruptly. In image processing, an edge is often interpreted as one class of singularities. Edge detection is an important task in image processing. It is a main tool in pattern recognition, image segmentation, and scene analysis. An edge detector is basically a high pass filter that can be applied to extract the edge points in an image. This topic has attracted many researchers and many achievements have been made. Many researchers provided different approaches based on mathematical calculations which some of them are either robust or cost effective. A new algorithm will be proposed to detect the edges of image with increased robustness and throughput. Using this algorithm we will reduce the time complexity problem which is faced by previous algorithm. We will also propose hardware unit for proposed algorithm which will reduce the area, power and speed problem. We will compare our proposed algorithm with previous approach. For image quality measurement we will use some scientific parameters those are PSNR, SSIM, FSIM. Implementation of proposed algorithm will be done by Matlab and hardware implementation will be done by using of Verilog on Xilinx 14.1 simulator. Verification will be done on Model sim.

It has been shown that the Canny’s edge detection algorithm performs better than all these operators under almost all scenarios. Evaluation of the images showed that under noisy conditions Canny, LoG( Laplacian of Gaussian), Robert, Prewitt, Sobel exhibit better performance, respectively. . It has been observed that Canny’s edge detection algorithm is computationally more expensive compared to LoG( Laplacian of Gaussian), Sobel, Prewitt and Robert’s operator

Removing fence and recovering image details various techniques with performan...RSIS International
In recent world, detection and removal of fences from
digital images become necessary when an important part of the
view changes to be occluded by unnecessary structures. When a
picture is taken, it may have certain structures or objects that
are unwanted. Many scenes such as parks, gardens, and zoos are
secured by fences and people can only take pictures through the
fences. Images or videos taken at open places using lowresolution
cameras, like smart phones are also frequently
corrupted by the presence of occlusions like fences. For the
background occluded by fences, the goal of image de-fencing is to
restore them and return fence-free images. Multi-focus images
are obtained and “defocusing” information is utilized to generate
a clear image. The main aim is when a colored image is input
having fence in the image and then deleting; removing the fence
gives the resultant image with the removal of fence from the
image. Also it involves filling the gaps of removed, damaged
region to recover lost image details. This paper includes various
methods for detection of fence(s), various methods for filling the
gaps, literature survey and performance analysis of methods for

Mechanical properties of hybrid fiber reinforced concrete for pavementseSAT Journals
Abstract
The effect of addition of mono fibers and hybrid fibers on the mechanical properties of concrete mixture is studied in the present
investigation. Steel fibers of 1% and polypropylene fibers 0.036% were added individually to the concrete mixture as mono fibers and
then they were added together to form a hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. Mechanical properties such as compressive, split tensile and
flexural strength were determined. The results show that hybrid fibers improve the compressive strength marginally as compared to
mono fibers. Whereas, hybridization improves split tensile strength and flexural strength noticeably.

Material management in construction – a case studyeSAT Journals
Abstract
The objective of the present study is to understand about all the problems occurring in the company because of improper application
of material management. In construction project operation, often there is a project cost variance in terms of the material, equipments,
manpower, subcontractor, overhead cost, and general condition. Material is the main component in construction projects. Therefore,
if the material management is not properly managed it will create a project cost variance. Project cost can be controlled by taking
corrective actions towards the cost variance. Therefore a methodology is used to diagnose and evaluate the procurement process
involved in material management and launch a continuous improvement was developed and applied. A thorough study was carried
out along with study of cases, surveys and interviews to professionals involved in this area. As a result, a methodology for diagnosis
and improvement was proposed and tested in selected projects. The results obtained show that the main problem of procurement is
related to schedule delays and lack of specified quality for the project. To prevent this situation it is often necessary to dedicate
important resources like money, personnel, time, etc. To monitor and control the process. A great potential for improvement was
detected if state of the art technologies such as, electronic mail, electronic data interchange (EDI), and analysis were applied to the
procurement process. These helped to eliminate the root causes for many types of problems that were detected.

Life cycle cost analysis of overlay for an urban road in bangaloreeSAT Journals
Abstract
Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Laboratory investigation of expansive soil stabilized with natural inorganic ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Soil stabilization has proven to be one of the oldest techniques to improve the soil properties. Literature review conducted revealed
that uses of natural inorganic stabilizers are found to be one of the best options for soil stabilization. In this regard an attempt has
been made to evaluate the influence of RBI-81 stabilizer on properties of black cotton soil through laboratory investigations. Black
cotton soil with varying percentages of RBI-81 viz., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 percent were studied for moisture density relationships
and strength behaviour of soils. Also the effect of curing period was evaluated as literature review clearly emphasized the strength
gain of soils stabilized with RBI-81 over a period of time. The results obtained shows that the unconfined compressive strength of
specimens treated with RBI-81 increased approximately by 250% for a curing period of 28 days as compared to virgin soil. Further
the CBR value improved approximately by 400%. The studies indicated an increasing trend for soil strength behaviour with
increasing percentage of RBI-81 suggesting its potential applications in soil stabilization.
Influence of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block masonry p...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Influence of compaction energy on soil stabilized with chemical stabilizereSAT Journals
Abstract
Increase in traffic along with heavier magnitude of wheel loads cause rapid deterioration in pavements. There is a need to improve
density, strength of soil subgrade and other pavement layers. In this study an attempt is made to improve the properties of locally
available loamy soil using twin approaches viz., i) increasing the compaction of soil and ii) treating the soil with chemical stabilizer.
Laboratory studies are carried out on both untreated and treated soil samples compacted by different compaction efforts. Studies
show that increase in compaction effort results in increase in density of soil. However in soil treated with chemical stabilizer, rate of
increase in density is not significant. The soil treated with chemical stabilizer exhibits improvement in both strength and performance
properties.

Evaluation of punching shear in flat slabseSAT Journals
Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.

Estimation of surface runoff in nallur amanikere watershed using scs cn methodeSAT Journals
Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.

1. INTRODUCTION
Edge Detection refers to the process of identifying and
locating sharp discontinuities in an image. The discontinuities
are abrupt changes in pixel intensity which characterize
boundaries of objects in a scene. Edge Detection is one of the
most frequently used techniques in digital image processing
[10]. The boundaries of object surfaces in a scene often called
lead to oriented localized changes in intensity of an image
called edges [12]. Edge detection is one of the most commonly
used operations in image analysis, and there are probably
more algorithms in the literature for enhancing and detecting
edges than any other single subject. The reason for this is that
edges from the outline of an image. An edge is the boundary
between an object and the background, and indicates the
boundary between overlapping objects. This means that if the
edges in an image can be accurately, all of the objects can be
located and basic properties. Edge detection is a fundamental
of low-level image processing and good edges are necessary
for higher-level processing [9]. Classical methods of edge
detection involve convolving the image with an operator (a 2-
D filter), which is constructed to be sensitive to large gradients
in the image while returning values of zero in uniform regions.
Edge detection technique also transforms image benefiting
from changes in gray tones in the image. Edges are signs of
lack of continuity and ending as a result of this formation the
edge is obtained without encountering any changes in physical
qualities of an image [7,17]. There are extremely large
numbers of edge detection operators available each designed
to be sensitive to certain edges [10]. Edge detection is
difficult to implement in noisy images, since both noise and
edges contains high frequency content [10].
1.1 Edge Detector Background
Edge detection is a tool used in most image processing
application. Edge detection is an important technique in
applications like object recognition, motion analysis, and
pattern recognition [12]. The boundaries of object surfaces in
a scene often lead to oriented localized changes in intensity of
an image called edges [15.]There are many ways to perform
edge detection however, majority of the different method can
be grouped into two major categories:-
(a) Gradient: - the gradient method detects the edges by
looking for the maximum and minimum in the first
derivative of the image.
(b) Laplacian: - the Laplacian method searches for zero
crossing in the second derivative of the image to find
edges [7].
1.2 Edge Detection Techniques
There is different edge detection techniques available, the
compared ones are as follows:
(a) Sobel Operator
Sobel operator is one if the pixel based edge detection
algorithm. It can detect edge by calculating partial derivatives
in 3 x 3 neighbourhoods. The reason for using Sobel operator
is that it is insensitive to noise and it has relatively small mask
in images. The convolution kernel, one kernel is simply the
other rotated by 90degrees.These kernels are designed to
respond to edges running vertically and horizontally relative to
the pixel grid, one kernel for each of the two perpendicular
orientations. The kernels can be applied separately to input
image to produce separate measurement of gradient
component in each orientation which can be combined to find
the absolute magnitude of gradient at each point.
(b) Robert Cross operator
The Robert Cross operator performs a simple and quick 2-D
spatial gradient measurement on an image. The operator

consists of a pair of 2 x2 convolution kernel. These kernels are
designed to respond maximally to edges running at 45degrees
to the pixel grid one kernel for each of the two perpendicular
orientations. The kernels can be applied separately to the input
image to produce separate measurement of the gradient
component in each orientation these can then be combined
together to find the absolute magnitude of the gradient at each
point.
(c) Prewitt Detection
The Prewitt Operator is similar to the Sobel operator and it is
used for detecting vertical and horizontal edges in images [6].
The Prewitt edge detector is an appropriate way to estimate
the magnitude and orientation of an edge. The Prewitt operator
is limited to eight possible orientations [14] although most
direct orientation estimates are not exactly accurate. The
Prewitt operator is estimated in the 3 x 3 neighbourhood for
eight directions [15]. The entire eight masks are calculated
then the one with the largest module is selected.
(d) Canny Operator
Among the edge detection already discussed, the [2] Canny
edge detector is the most rigorously defined operator and is
widely used. It smoothes the image with appropriate Gaussian
filter to reduce desired image. And it also determines Gradient
magnitude and direction at each pixel. The Canny edge
detector is widely considered to be the standard edge detection
method in the industry. It is important that edges occurring in
images should not be missed and that there be no responses to
non-edges. The second criterion is that the edge points be well
localized. In other words, the distance between the edge pixels
as found by the detector and the actual edge is to be at a
minimum. A third criterion is to have only one response to a
single edge. This was implemented because the first two were
not substantial enough to completely eliminate the possibility
of multiple responses to an edge. Based on these criteria, the
canny edge detector first smoothes the image to eliminate and
noise. It then finds the image gradient to highlight regions
with high spatial derivatives. Canny saw the edge detection
problem as a signal processing optimization problem, so he
developed an objective function to be optimized [12].
2. IMAGE SEGMENTATION
The first step in image analysis is segment the image.
Segmentation subdivides an image into its constituent parts or
objects. The level to which this subdivision is carried depends
on the problem being viewed. Some time need to segment the
object from the background to read the image correctly and
identify the content of the image for this reason there are two
techniques of segmentation, discontinuity detection technique
and Similarity detection technique [15, 17]. In the first
technique, one approach is to partition an image based on
abrupt changes in gray-level image. The second technique is
based on the threshold and region growing. This paper
discusses the first techniques using LookUp Table Edge
Detection method.
2.1 Edge Detection for Image Segmentation
Edge detection techniques transform images to edge images
benefiting from the changes of grey tones in the images. Edges
are the sign of lack of continuity, and ending. As a result of
this transformation, edge image is obtained without
encountering any changes in physical qualities of the main
image [16]. Objects consist of numerous parts of different
colour levels. In an image with different grey levels, despite
an obvious change in the grey levels of the object, the shape of
the image can be distinguished in Figure: 6. An Edge in an
image is a significant local change in the image intensity,
usually associated with a discontinuity in either the image
intensity or the first derivative of the image intensity. An edge
is the boundary between an object and the background. The
edge representation of an image significantly reduces the
quantity of data to be processed, yet it retains essential
information regarding the shapes of objects in the scene.
3. PROPOSED METHOD
The proposed method presents determining edges of images
by using Lookup table and it is necessary to point out the true
edges to get the best results. In this respect we present the
advantages of Lookup table by comparing with conventional
edge detector techniques i.e., Sobel, Robert, Prewitt, and
Canny in which the LUT technique gives better detection in
less time.
3.1 LOOKUP TABLE
In data analysis such as image processing a lookup table
(LUT) is used to transform the input data into a more desirable
output format. Lookup table is an array that replaces runtime
computation with a simpler array indexing operation. Lookup
table are often called LUT’s and given an output value for
each range.
3.1.1. Applylut
The use of applylut is it will process binary image by using
lookup table. It performs 2 by 2 or 3 by 3 neighbourhood on
binary image by using lookup table.
(a) 2-by-2 Neighbourhood
For 2-by-2 neighbourhoods, length (LUT) is 16. There are
four pixels in each neighbourhood, and two possible states for
each pixel, so the total number of permutations is 24 = 16. To
produce the matrix of indices, applylut convolves the binary
image with this matrix.

The resulting convolution contains integer values in the range
[0, 15]. Applylut uses the central part of the convolution, of
the same size as binary image, and adds 1 to each value to
shift the range to [1,16]. It then constructs A by replacing the
values in the cells of the index matrix with the values in the lut
that indices the point to.
(b) 3-by-3 Neighbourhood
For 3-by-3 neighbourhoods, length (LUT) is 512. There are
nine pixels in each neighbourhood, and two possible states for
each pixel, so the total number of permutations is 29 = 512. To
produce the matrix of indices, applylut convolves the binary
image BW with this matrix.

The resulting convolution contains integer values in the range
[0,511]. Applylut uses the central part of the convolution, of
the same size as binary image, and adds 1 to each value to
shift the range to [15,12]. It then constructs A by replacing the
values in the cells of the index matrix with the values in LUT
that the indices point to.

CONCLUSIONS
Edge detection is one of the most commonly used operations
in image analysis. From the comparative study we conclude
that the Canny Edge detection performs well compared to
Roberts, Prewitt, and Sobel Operators but Canny Detection
performance is worse than our propose method known as
LookUp Table. Also Canny Detection is more costlier and
time consuming. This proposed method known LookUp Table
is simple, fast and efficient technique which requires least
computational time and gives better results compared to
conventional Edge Detection Techniques.
