Abstract

Finding relevant and crucial details from images and effectively interpreting what they represent are two of image processing's main goals. An edge is the line that separates an object from its backdrop and shows where two things meet. Mining the picture's borders for extracting useful data remains one of the trickiest steps in understanding of an image. The borders of the objects may be used to build the image's edges, which are its basic characteristics. There are different types of traditional edge retrieval techniques that are conventionally categorized as first order and second gradient based methods such as Roberts, Prwitt, Kirsch, Robinson, canny, Laplacian and Laplacian of gaussian. The majority of research and review work on edge detection algorithms focuses on conventional algorithms and soft computing based methods, neglecting illumination invariant phase congruency based edge detector. This study aims to compare traditional derivative based edge detection algorithms with log Gabor wavelet based edge detector phase congruency. This work does a thorough examination of various edgedetecting approaches, including traditional boundary detection methods and log Gabor wavelet based method. To test effectiveness of edge detection algorithms, experimental results are obtained on images from DRIVE, STARE, and BSDS500 dataset.
