Abstract: The main aim of this project is to propose a new method for image segmentation. Image
Segmentation is concerned with splitting an image up into segments (also called regions or areas) that each
holds some property distinct from their neighbor. Simply, another word for the Object Detection is
“Segmentation “. Segmentation is divided into two types they are Supervised Segmentation and Unsupervised
Segmentation. Segmentation consists of three types of methods which are divided on the basis of threshold, edge
and region. Thresholding is a commonly used enhancement whose goal is to segment an image into object and
background. Edge-based segmentations rely on edges found in an image by edge detecting operators. Region
based segmentations basic idea is to divide an image into zones of maximum homogeneity, where homogeneity
is an important property of regions. Edge detection has been a field of fundamental importance in digital image
processing research. Edge can be defined as a pixels located at points where abrupt changes in gray level take
place in this paper one novel approach for edge detection in gray scale images, which is based on diagonal
pixels in 2*2 region of the image, is proposed. This method first uses a threshold value to segment the image
and binary image. And then the proposed edge detector. In order to validate the results, seven different
kinds of test images are considered to examine the versatility of the proposed edge detector. It has been
observed that the proposed edge detector works effectively for different gray scale digital images. The results of
this study are quite promising. In this project we proposed a new algorithm for edge Detection. The main
advantage of this algorithm is with running mask on the original image we can detect the edges in the images by
using the proposed scheme for edge detection.
Keywords: Edge detection, segmentation, thresholding.
IMAGE SEGMENTATION BY USING THRESHOLDING TECHNIQUES FOR MEDICAL IMAGEScseij
Image binarization is the process of separation of pixel values into two groups, black as background and
white as foreground. Thresholding can be categorized into global thresholding and local thresholding. This
paper describes a locally adaptive thresholding technique that removes background by using local mean
and standard deviation. Most common and simplest approach to segment an image is using thresholding.
In this work we present an efficient implementation for threshoding and give a detailed comparison of
Niblack and sauvola local thresholding algorithm. Niblack and sauvola thresholding algorithm is
implemented on medical images. The quality of segmented image is measured by statistical parameters:
Jaccard Similarity Coefficient, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).
GRAY SCALE IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING OTSU THRESHOLDING OPTIMAL APPROACHJournal For Research
Image segmentation is often used to distinguish the foreground from the background. Image segmentation is one of the difficult research problems in the machine vision industry and pattern recognition. Thresholding is a simple but effective method to separate objects from the background. A commonly used method, the Otsu method, improves the image segmentation effect obviously. It can be implemented by two different approaches: Iteration approach and Custom approach. In this paper both approaches has been implemented on MATLAB and give the comparison of them and show that both has given almost the same threshold value for segmenting image but the custom approach requires less computations. So if this method will be implemented on hardware in an optimized way then custom approach is the best option.
Computer apparition plays the most important role in human perception, which is limited to only the visual band of the electromagnetic spectrum. The need for Radar imaging systems, to recover some sources that
are not within human visual band, is raised. This paper present new algorithm for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images segmentation based on thresholding technique. Entropy based image thresholding has
received sustainable interest in recent years. It is an important concept in the area of image processing.
Pal (1996) proposed a cross entropy thresholding method based on Gaussian distribution for bi-modal images. Our method is derived from Pal method that segment images using cross entropy thresholding based on Gamma distribution and can handle bi-modal and multimodal images. Our method is tested using
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and it gave good results for bi-modal and multimodal images. The
results obtained are encouraging.

Review of Image Segmentation Techniques based on Region Merging ApproachEditor IJMTER
Image segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. Since
fully automatic image segmentation is usually very hard for natural images, interactive schemes with a
few simple user inputs are good solutions. In image segmentation the image is dividing into various
segments for processing images. The complexity of image content is a bigger challenge for carrying out
automatic image segmentation. On regions based scheme, the images are merged based on the similarity
criteria depending upon comparing the mean values of both the regions to be merged. So, the similar
regions are then merged and the dissimilar regions are merged together.
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.

In this paper; we introduce a system of automatic recognition of characters based on the Random Forest Method in non-constrictive pictures that are stemmed from the terminals Mobile phone. After doing some pretreatments on the picture, the text is segmented into lines and then into characters. In the stage of characteristics extraction, we are representing the input data into the vector of primitives of the zoning types, of diagonal, horizontal and of the Zernike moment. These characteristics are linked to pixels’ densities and they are extracted on binary pictures. In the classification stage, we examine four classification methods with two different classifiers types namely the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and the Random Forest method. After some checking tests, the system of learning and recognition which is based on the Random Forest has shown a good performance on a basis of 100 models of pictures.

SHADOW DETECTION USING TRICOLOR ATTENUATION MODEL ENHANCED WITH ADAPTIVE HIST...ijcsit
Shadows create significant problems in many computer vision and image analysis tasks such as object
recognition, object tracking, and image segmentation. For a machine, it is very difficult to distinguish
between a shadow and a real object. As a result, an object recognition system may incorrectly recognize a
shadow region as an object. So the detection of shadows in images will enhance the performance of many
machine vision tasks. This paper implements a shadow detection method, which is based on Tricolor
Attenuation Model (TAM) enhanced with adaptive histogram equalization (AHE). TAM uses the concept of
intensity attenuation of pixels in the shadow region which is different for the three color channels. It
originates from the idea that if the minimum attenuated color channel is subtracted from the maximum
attenuated one, the shadow areas become darker in the resulting TAM image. But this resulting image will
be of low contrast due to the high correlation among R, G and B color channels. In order to enhance the
contrast, adaptive histogram equalization is used. The incorporation of AHE significantly improved the
quality of the detected shadow region.

The objective of this paper is to present the hybrid approach for edge detection. Under this technique, edge
detection is performed in two phase. In first phase, Canny Algorithm is applied for image smoothing and in
second phase neural network is to detecting actual edges. Neural network is a wonderful tool for edge
detection. As it is a non-linear network with built-in thresholding capability. Neural Network can be trained
with back propagation technique using few training patterns but the most important and difficult part is to
identify the correct and proper training set.

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.
A STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT EDGE DETECTION TECHNIQUEScscpconf
In the first study [1], a combination of K-means, watershed segmentation method, and Difference In Strength (DIS) map were used to perform image segmentation and edge detection
tasks. We obtained an initial segmentation based on K-means clustering technique. Starting from this, we used two techniques; the first is watershed technique with new merging
procedures based on mean intensity value to segment the image regions and to detect their boundaries. The second is edge strength technique to obtain accurate edge maps of our images without using watershed method. In this technique: We solved the problem of undesirable over segmentation results produced by the watershed algorithm, when used directly with raw data images. Also, the edge maps we obtained have no broken lines on entire image. In the 2nd study level set methods are used for the implementation of curve/interface evolution under various forces. In the third study the main idea is to detect regions (objects) boundaries, to isolate and extract individual components from a medical image. This is done using an active contours to detect regions in a given image, based on techniques of curve evolution, Mumford–Shah functional for segmentation and level sets. Once we classified our images into different intensity regions based on Markov Random Field. Then we detect regions whose boundaries are not necessarily defined by gradient by minimize an energy of Mumford–Shah functional forsegmentation, where in the level set formulation, the problem becomes a mean-curvature which will stop on the desired boundary. The stopping term does not depend on the gradient of the image as in the classical active contour. The initial curve of level set can be anywhere in the image, and interior contours are automatically detected. The final image segmentation is one
closed boundary per actual region in the image.
A NOVEL PROBABILISTIC BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION MODEL FOR REALTIME HUMAN ACTIV...sipij
Automatic human activity detection is one of the difficult tasks in image segmentation application due to
variations in size, type, shape and location of objects. In the traditional probabilistic graphical
segmentation models, intra and inter region segments may affect the overall segmentation accuracy. Also,
both directed and undirected graphical models such as Markov model, conditional random field have
limitations towards the human activity prediction and heterogeneous relationships. In this paper, we have
studied and proposed a natural solution for automatic human activity segmentation using the enhanced
probabilistic chain graphical model. This system has three main phases, namely activity pre-processing,
iterative threshold based image enhancement and chain graph segmentation algorithm. Experimental
results show that proposed system efficiently detects the human activities at different levels of the action
datasets.
Study and Comparison of Various Image Edge Detection TechniquesCSCJournals
Edges characterize boundaries and are therefore a problem of fundamental importance in image processing. Image Edge detection significantly reduces the amount of data and filters out useless information, while preserving the important structural properties in an image. Since edge detection is in the forefront of image processing for object detection, it is crucial to have a good understanding of edge detection algorithms. In this paper the comparative analysis of various Image Edge Detection techniques is presented. The software is developed using MATLAB 7.0. 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

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Abstract: The main aim of this project is to propose a new method for image segmentation. Image
Segmentation is concerned with splitting an image up into segments (also called regions or areas) that each
holds some property distinct from their neighbor. Simply, another word for the Object Detection is
“Segmentation “. Segmentation is divided into two types they are Supervised Segmentation and Unsupervised
Segmentation. Segmentation consists of three types of methods which are divided on the basis of threshold, edge
and region. Thresholding is a commonly used enhancement whose goal is to segment an image into object and
background. Edge-based segmentations rely on edges found in an image by edge detecting operators. Region
based segmentations basic idea is to divide an image into zones of maximum homogeneity, where homogeneity
is an important property of regions. Edge detection has been a field of fundamental importance in digital image
processing research. Edge can be defined as a pixels located at points where abrupt changes in gray level take
place in this paper one novel approach for edge detection in gray scale images, which is based on diagonal
pixels in 2*2 region of the image, is proposed. This method first uses a threshold value to segment the image
and binary image. And then the proposed edge detector. In order to validate the results, seven different
kinds of test images are considered to examine the versatility of the proposed edge detector. It has been
observed that the proposed edge detector works effectively for different gray scale digital images. The results of
this study are quite promising. In this project we proposed a new algorithm for edge Detection. The main
advantage of this algorithm is with running mask on the original image we can detect the edges in the images by
using the proposed scheme for edge detection.
Keywords: Edge detection, segmentation, thresholding.
I. Introduction
Types of Segmentation
1. Thresholding:
Thresholding has a long but checkered history in digital image processing [9]. Thresholding is a
commonly used enhancement [12] whose goal is to segment an image into object and background. A threshold
value is computed above (or below) which pixels are considered “object” and below (or above) which
“background”, and eliminates unimportant shading variation. One obvious way to extract [6] the objects from
the background is to select a threshold T that separates these modes. Then, any point (x, y) for which f(x, y) > T
is called an object point; otherwise, the point is called a background point. Thresholding [3] can also be done
using neighborhood operations. Thresholding essentially involves turning a color or grayscale image into a 1-bit
binary image. This is done by allocating every pixel in the image either black or white, depending on their
value. The pivotal value that is used to decide whether any given pixel is to be black or white is the threshold. If
the threshold value is only dependent on the gray values then it is called as “Global Thresholding”. If the
threshold value is dependent on the gray values and on some local property then it is called as “Local
Thresholding”. If the threshold value is dependent on the gray values, some local property and some spatial co-
ordinates then it is called as “Adaptive Thresholding”. Different ways to choose the threshold value when we
covert a gray image to binary image are;
1. Randomly selecting the gray values of the image
2. Average of all the gray values of the image:
3. Median of given gray values:
4. (Minimum value + Maximum value)/2
Algorithm for Selecting the Threshold value randomly:
Step 1: Read image.
Step 2: Convert image into two dimensional matrixes (eg: 64X64).
Step 3: Select the threshold value randomly.
Step 4: If grey level value is greater than the threshold value makes it bright, else make it dark.
Step 5: Display threshold image.
2. A Novel Edge Detection Technique for Image Classification and Analysis
www.iosrjournals.org 91 | Page
Algorithm for Selecting the Threshold value using Average of all gray values:
Step 1: Read image.
Step 2: Convert image into two dimensional matrixes (eg: 64X64).
Step 3: Select the threshold value by calculating average of all the gray values.
Step 4: If grey level value is greater than the threshold value makes it bright, else make it dark.
Step 5: Display threshold image.
Algorithm for Selecting the Threshold value using Median of all gray values:
Step 1: Read image.
Step 2: Convert image into two dimensional matrixes (eg: 64X64).
Step 3: Select the threshold value by calculating median of all the gray values.
Step 4: If grey level value is greater than the threshold value make it bright, else make it dark.
Step 5: Display threshold image.
Algorithm for Selecting the Threshold value using Average of minimum and maximum gray values:
Step 1: Read image.
Step 2: Convert image into two dimensional matrixes (eg: 64X64).
Step 3: Select the threshold value by calculating the average of Minimum and Maximum gray values.
Step 4: If grey level value is greater than the threshold value makes it bright, make it dark.
Step 5: Display threshold image.
Limitations:
1. As hardware cost dropped and sophisticated new algorithms were developed, thresholding became less
important.
2. Thresholding destroys useful shading information and applies essentially infinite gain to noise at the threshold
value, resulting in a significant loss of robustness and accuracy.
II. Edge Based Segmentation:
The edges of an image hold much information in that image. The edges tell where objects are, their shape and
size, and something about their texture. An edge is where the intensity of an image [10] moves from a low value
to a high value or vice versa. Edges in images are areas with strong intensity contrasts – a jump in intensity from
one pixel to the next. Edge detecting [4] is an image significantly reduces the amount of data and filters out
useless information, while preserving the important structural properties in an image Edge detectors are a
collection of very important local image pre-processing methods [11] used to locate (sharp) changes in the
intensity function. Edges are pixels where the brightness function changes abruptly. Edge-based segmentation
[5] represents a large group of methods based on information about edges in the image; it is one of the earliest
segmentation approaches and still remains very important and also relies on edges found in an image by edge
detecting operators these edges mark image locations [8] of discontinuities in gray level, color, texture, etc. The
classification [1] of edge detectors is based on the behavioral study of the edges with respect to the following
operators:
(i).First Order derivative edge detection
(ii).Second Order derivative edge detection
(i).First Order edge detection Technique:
The first derivative assumes a local maximum at an edge. For a gradient image f(x, y), at location (x, y),
where x and y are the row and column coordinates respectively, we typically consider the two directional
derivatives. The two functions that can be expressed in terms of the directional derivatives [3] are the gradient
magnitude and the gradient orientation. The gradient magnitude is defined by,
3. A Novel Edge Detection Technique for Image Classification and Analysis
www.iosrjournals.org 92 | Page
The gradient orientation is also an important quantity. The gradient orientation is given by,
The angle is measured with respect to the x- axis. The other method of calculating the gradient is given by
estimating the finite difference.
We can approximate this finite difference as;
(ii).Second Order edge detection technique:
Second Order derivative [7] edge detection techniques employ some form of spatial second order differentiation
[5] to accentuate edges. An edge is marked if a significant spatial change occurs in the second derivative.
Laplacian and Gaussian Edge detection operator:
The Laplacian operator is a very popular operator approximating the second derivative which gives the
gradient magnitude only. The principle used in the Laplacian of Gaussian method is, the second derivative of a
signal is zero when the magnitude of the derivative is maximum. The Laplacian is approximated in digital
images by a convolution sum. The Laplacian of a 2-D function f(x, y) is defined as;
3x3 masks for 4-neighborhoods and 8-neighborhood for this operator are as follows;
The two partial derivative approximations for the Laplacian for a 3x3 region are given as,
The 5x5 Laplacian is a convoluted mask to approximate the second derivative. Laplacian uses a 5x5
mask for the 2nd derivative in both the x and y directions.

ALGORITHM FOR LAPLACIAN AND GAUSSIAN OPERATOR:
Step 1: Read image.
Step 2: Convert image into two dimensional matrix (eg: 64X64).
Step 3: Calculate Threshold value of the image using average method.
Step 4: If grey level value is greater than or equal to the threshold value make it bright, else make it dark.
Step 5: Display Threshold image.
Step 6: Perform Gaussian Operation on Original image to reduce the noise.
Step 7: Take 3x3 Laplacian Operator and place it on the Original Image which is masked by the Gaussian
operator.
Step 7: Find the Gradient Magnitude and replace the center pixel by the magnitude.
Step 8: Convolve the mask on the entire image.
Step 9: Display the Convolved image.
Limitations:
1. It responds doubly to some edges in the image.
Limitations for Edge Based Segmentation:
Edge-based methods center around contour detection: their weakness in connecting together broken contour
lines make them, too, prone to failure in the presence of blurring The main disadvantage of these edge detectors
is their dependence on the size of objects and sensitivity to noise Further, since conventional boundary[2]
finding relies on changes in the grey level, rather than their actual values, it is less sensitive to changes in the
grey scale distributions over images as against region based segmentation.
III. Proposed Method
Digital image processing is a general term for the wide range of techniques that exist for interpreting or
modifying digital images in different ways. Principle application of digital image processing is machine
perception of visual information, as used in robotics. An image may be defined as a 2D function f(x, y), where s
and y are spatial coordinates and amplitude of f at any pair of coordinates (x, y) is called the intensity or gray
level of the image at that point. When all values of x, y and f are finite and discrete then such image is called as
Digital Image. A digital image is defined by a finite values function over a discrete domain z2
suppose the
digital image domain D, which is proper subset of z2
, is a matrix of size M x N
i.e., D= {(x, y): x=1, 2, 3…M-1, M; y=1, 2, 3…N-1, N}
Obtained by sampling with unit step along x and y directions. So a digital image f(x, y) can be represented by an
M x N matrix whose elements are integer numbers ranging from 0 to L-1:
f(1,1) f(1,2) f(1,3) . . . f(1,N-1) f(1,N)
f(2,1) f(2,2) f(2,3) . . . f(2,N-1) f(2,N)
. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
f(M,1) f(M,2) f(M,3) . . . f(1,1) f(1,1)
Each element of matrix is called pixel. Thus, the pixel may indicate only a location in z2
(i.e. the coordinate), or
it may represent the gray level along with position. For gray scale image L=256.
An image may be considered to contain sub images sometimes referred to as regions of interest (ROIs) or
simply regions. Middle level of digital image processing involves tasks such as segmentation (partitioning an
image into regions or objects), description of those objects to reduce them to a form suitable for computer
processing [10] and classification (recognition) of individual objects. In this level of digital image processing,
inputs are images, but outputs are attributes extracted from those images such as edges. Edges can be defined as
locations where the values of adjacent points differ sufficiently.
Edges in the paradigm of image processing and computer vision provide valuable information towards human
image understanding. Thus, edges play important role in human picture recognition system. Naturally, edge
detection has become a serious challenge to the image processing scientists, and since the last two decades, in
particular, numerous publications have been detailing methodologies for edge detection. Edges are the
representations of the discontinuities of image intensity function. Edge detection algorithm is a process of
detection of these discontinuities in an image. Edge detecting an image significantly reduces the amount of data
and filters out useless information, while preserving the important structural properties in an image. There are
many ways to perform edge detection like the Gradient method and the Laplacian method. The Gradient method
detects the edges by looking for the maximum and minimum in the first derivation of the image. The Laplacian
method searches for zero crossings in the second derivation of the image to find edges.

SELECTION OF THRESHOLD VALUE
Image Thresholding is an image processing technique in which the points of an image at or near a
particular value are highlighted. When a threshold value is applied onto a gray scale image, this highlighting can
be done by converting all pixels below threshold value to black, and all pixels above that value to white. Thus a
threshold edge is produced between the blacks and white regions. Because there are two possible output values,
thresholding creates a binary image. If T is a threshold value, then any pixel(x, y) for which f(x, y)>T is called
an object point; otherwise the pixel is called a background pixel.
In general, the threshold can be chosen as the relation, T=T[x, y, p (x, y),f(x, y)] where f(x, y) is the gray level
of the pixel(x, y) and p(x, y) denotes some local property of this pixel - for example, the average gray level of a
neighborhood centered on (x, y). A threshold image h(x, y) is defined as h(x, y) =1 if f(x, y)>T; otherwise h(x,
y) =0. Thus, pixels labeled 1 correspond to objects, whereas pixels labeled 0 correspond to the background.
When T depends only on f(x, y) (i.e., only on gray level values), the threshold is called global. If T depends on
f(x, y) and p(x, y), the threshold is called local. If T depends on the pixel position (x, y) as well as f(x, y) at that
pixel position, then it is called dynamic or adaptive threshold. In the proposed scheme to detect edges, global
threshold value is used.
Procedure to select suitable threshold value
Step1. Select an initial estimate for T.
Step2.Segment the image using T. This will produce two groups of pixels: R1 consisting of all pixels with gray
level values >T and R2 consisting of pixels with gray level values<=T.
Step3. Compute the average gray level value and u2 for the pixels in region R1 and R2.
Step4.compute a new threshold value Set Tnew = (µ1+µ2)/2, and Set Told=0
Step5: while (Tnew! =Told) do µ1=Mean gray level of pixels for which f(x, y)>=Tnew µ2=Mean gray level of pixels
for which f(x, y) <=Tnew Set Told=Tnew
Set Tnew= (µ1+µ2)/2 End while
Step6: suitable threshold value Set T=Tnew
Step7: Stop in digital image processing, an image defined in the real world is considered to be a function of to
real variables, for example,
f(x, y) with f as the amplitude of the image at the real coordinate position (x, y).
A spatial filter mask may be defined as a (template) matrix w of size m×n. Assume that m=2a and n=2b, where
a, b are nonzero positive integers.
Smallest meaningful size of the mask is 2×2. Such mask coefficients, showing coordinate arrangement as:
Image region under the above mask is shown below
Basic idea behind edge detection:
a) Classification of all pixels that satisfy the criterion of homogeneousness.
b) Detection of all pixels on the borders between different homogeneous areas. In the proposed scheme, first
create a binary image by choosing a suitable threshold value. Filter mask is applied on the binary image to
detect edge pixels. Set Filter mask coefficients w(0,0), w(1,1) equal to 1 and w(0,1), w(1,0) equal to × , as
shown below:
Move the filter mask on the whole image and find the gray level value of each pixel of the image under the × of
the filter mask in each masking step. If homogeneousness does not exist between neighbors (except diagonal
pixel) of the pixel that under the × of the mask, the pixel is an edge pixel, otherwise not. By taking decision
W(0,0) W(0,1)
W(1,0) W(1,1)
f(x,y) f(x,y+1)
f(x+1,y) f(x+1,y+1)

about the two pixels in the mask, major problem of processing border pixels in the image is solved. Only two
pixels (first and last) in the whole image are left. These two pixels have to be processed separately.
Proposed Algorithm
Step1. Create a binary image by choosing a suitable threshold value.
If (f(x, y)>threshold value), then
Set f(x, y) =1, otherwise
Set f(x, y) =0 End if
Step2. Find edge pixel in binary image:
2.1. Create a mask, w, with dimensions 2×2. Set w (0, 0) =w (1, 1) =1
Set w (1, 0) =w (0, 1) =×
2.2 .Create an M×N output image, g:
For all pixel coordinates, x and y, do
Set g(x, y) =f(x, y) End for
2.3. Checking for edge pixels
2.3.1. Process whole image except first and last pixels
For y=1 to N-1 do for x=1 to M-1 do If (gray level values of f(x, y+1), f(x, y)
And f(x+1, y+1) are equal) Then, f(x+1, y) is not an edge pixel, And Set g(x, y+1) =0
Otherwise(x+1, y) is an edge pixel And Set g(x, y+1) =1 End if End for
Process first pixel of the image
If (gray level values of f (1, 1), f (1, 2) and f (2, 1) are equal),
Then f (1, 1) is not an edge pixel, and
Set g(1,1)=0 otherwise f(1,1) is an edge pixel And Set g(1,1)=1 End if process last pixel of the image gray
level values of f(M,N),f(M,N-1)and
f (M-1, N) are equal) then f(M,N) is not an edge pixel, And Set g(M,N)=1
End if

IV.Result Discussions
First, in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme for edge detection, a standard test image
of brain was taken. Global threshold value was calculated for that image using above procedure for calculating
suitable threshold value on its edge was detected using proposed procedure. Threshold value for that image is
0.3472 when image in normalized form (i.e., all gray level values lie between 0 and 1). The result of edge
detection is shown in figure1. It has been observed that the proposed method for edge detection works well. In
order to validate the results about the performance of proposed scheme for edge detection, seven different test
images are considered. Global threshold values calculated by the threshold evaluation procedure for different
test images are given in table 1. The results of edge detections for these test images are shown in figure2. From
the results; it has again been observed that the performance of the proposed edge detection scheme is found to
be satisfactory for all the test images.

V. Conclusions
Computer vision and digital image processing are rapidly growing fields that are important in numerous aspects
in many fields. Until a few years ago, segmentation techniques were proposed mainly for gray-level images
since for a long time these have been the only kind of visual information that acquisition devices were able to
take and computer resources to handle. The main goal of the image segmentation is to divide an image into
parts that have a strong correlation with objects of the real world depicted in the image. Thresholding represents
the simplest image segmentation process, and it is computationally inexpensive and fast. Edge based
segmentation relies on edges found in an image by edge detecting operators. Gradient operators determine edge
location in which the image function under goes rapid changes, they have a similar effect to suppress low
frequencies in the Fourier Transform Domain. Most Gradient operators can be expressed using Convolution
masks like Robert, Prewitt, Sobel, Robinson, and Krisch. Zero crossing of the second derivative are most robust
than small-size gradient detectors and calculated Laplacian of Gaussian. In our proposed method, an attempt is
made to develop as a new technique for edge detection. Experimental results have demonstrated that the
proposed scheme for edge detection works satisfactorily for different gray level digital images. The theoretical
principles and systematic development of the algorithm for the proposed versatile edge detector is described in
detail. The technique has potential future in the field of digital image processing. The work is under further
progress to examine the performance of the proposed edge detector for different gray level images affected with
different kinds of noise.
