An Improved Algorithm of Image Edge Detection Based on the Degree Connection Situation

Aiming at the defect of the poor ability to suppress the noise of the algorithm of image edge detection, as well as too much sensitive to the noise, an improved algorithm of image edge detection based on SPA (set pair analysis) by combining trend relationship of the degree connection situation with the algorithm of half-neighborhood adaptive image edge pick-up is presented in this paper. The core of the algorithm is first to detect the most possible direction of the edge by using the biggest value of Degree Connection Situation--c/a, and then calculate absolute value of the D-value between the average value of three points and the average value of five points and the standard deviation value of all the points value in the 8-neighborhood, at last, decide whether the center-point is on the edge according to the threshold value of the standard deviation value. The result of simulation indicates that, without any processing to the image, the improved algorithm is not only accurate but also legible in object brim pick-up, compared with the algorithm in literature; furthermore, the noise is greatly suppressed by using it.

PiDiNet-TIR: An improved edge detection algorithm for weakly textured thermal infrared images based on PiDiNet

In order to solve the problems such as difficulties in extracting image edge information caused by low contrast and blurred edges of thermal infrared images, a thermal infrared image edge detection algorithm PiDiNet-TIR constructed based on the PiDiNet model is proposed. On the basis of the visible light image dataset BSDS500, the visible light image is grayed out, noise is added, and contrast is reduced to construct the thermal infrared image edge dataset I R-BSDS500, which provides image data for model training and testing. Deeply study the theory of PiDiNet model, add rich convolution mechanism to its backbone network, improve the activation function, pooling layer and up-sampling module, study the SimAM attention mechanism and add it to the side network. Using the open-source thermal infrared image dataset and homemade thermal infrared images for testing, we compare and analyze the mean square error (MSE), structural similarity of image (SSIM), feature similarity of image (FSIM), and Frames Per Second (FPS)of different detection algorithms, such as HED, RCF, DexiNet, PiDiNet, and the algorithm proposed in this paper. The results of image evaluation parameters prove that the edge detection algorithm proposed in this paper has high feature extraction efficiency and feature expression ability, and the algorithm detection performance is higher than other algorithms.

Implementation of Image Enhancement and Edge Detection Algorithm on Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) Image Using FPGA

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an ocular ailment that may lead to loss of vision and eventual blindness among individuals diagnosed with diabetes. The blood vessels of the retina, a layer of light-sensitive tissue located at the posterior aspect of the ocular globe, are adversely impacted. The identification of DR entails the utilization of retinal fundus images. The detection of any form of abnormality in the eye through raw fundus images poses a significant challenge for medical practitioners. Hence, it is imperative to engage in the processing of fundus images. This paper delineates several image processing techniques for DR images, including but not limited to, manipulation of brightness levels, application of negative transformation, and utilization of threshold operations. It focuses on elucidating the enhancement techniques that pertain to DR images, which aim to optimize the visual quality of said images in order to facilitate more facile disease detection. The process of detecting edges within DR images is also executed by Sobel edge detection algorithm. In order to successfully execute the aforementioned algorithms, expedient and contemporaneous systems are favored to account for the intricacies of the image processing calculations. The exclusive utilization of software techniques in order to fulfill the prerequisites of advanced algorithms presents a significant challenge, owing to the multifarious processes that are involved in their computation, coupled with an exigent requirement for high processing speeds. The proposed model is utilized to articulate a proficient model for the design and execution of field programable gate array (FPGA)-based image enhancement processes along with the Sobel edge detection algorithm upon DR images. Finally, a Internet Protocol chip is developed that can combine multiple image enhancement operations into a single framework with less complexity.

 The abundance and distribution of fish are influenced by environmental productivity, such as chlorophyll-a distribution and variations in sea surface temperature (SST). The lack of technology fishermen use in the waters of the Bali Strait has resulted in the high potential of fish resources not being optimally utilized. This study aimed to determine potential fishing zones by utilizing Aqua MODIS satellite data which can detect SST and chlorophyll-a. The image data observed was from October to December 2018 to 2020. The method used is the Single Image Edge Detection Algorithm, where this algorithm is used to determine potential fishing areas designed to detect fronts in SST images. The results showed that in December 2018, 7 potential fishing points were produced, marked with a chlorophyll-a value of 0.25 mg/m3 and an SST of 29.25°C. In December 2020, 82 potential fishing points were produced, with a chlorophyll-a value of 0.31 mg/m3 and an SPL of 29.79°C. Validation was carried out by analyzing the result of image processing with fish catch data obtained from Pengambengan PPN, Muncar PPP, and Kedonganan TPI. SST, with a value of 27°C, is the ideal temperature for fish where when the temperature increases, the number of potential fish catch points decreases and vice versa. The distribution of chlorophyll-a content with a value of > 0.2 mg/m3 affects the number of potential fishing points, where the higher the chlorophyll-a content, the more fishing ground points and vice versa.
 
 
 

M2GF: Multi-Scale and Multi-Directional Gabor Filters for Image Edge Detection

An image edge detection algorithm using multi-directional and multi-scale Gabor filters is proposed in this paper. The main merit of this method is that high edge detection accuracy can be obtained while maintaining noise robustness. The approach proposed in this paper consists of three procedures: firstly, the transformation to the CIE L*a*b* color space, which has a wide shading area and uniform distribution; secondly, under different scales, the edge feature information of the image is extracted from several different directions by Gabor filters, and a new edge strength map is obtained by feature fusion; thirdly, the new fused edge strength map is enhanced with local features, and a noise-resistant image edge detector is obtained under a novel hysteresis threshold calculation. The experiments illustrate that, compared to the methods involved, the designed edge detector outperforms by about 2% to 4%, and also shows competitive performance regarding the ability to handle noise.

On Edge Detection Algorithms for Water-Repellent Images of Insulators Taking into Account Efficient Approaches

Computer vision has become an essential interdisciplinary field that aims to extract valuable information from digital images or videos. To develop novel concepts in this area, researchers have employed powerful tools from both pure and applied mathematics. Recently, the use of fractional differential equations has gained popularity in practical applications. Moreover, symmetry is a critical concept in digital image processing that can significantly improve edge detection.

Numerical simulations are utilized to showcase the performance and effectiveness of the suggested designs. The simulations’ outcomes reveal that the fractional masks proposed in the study exhibit superior accuracy and efficiency compared to various widely used masks documented in the literature. This is a significant achievement of this study, as it introduces new masks that have not been previously used in edge detection algorithms for water-repellent images of insulators. In addition, the computational cost of the suggested fractional masks is equivalent to that of traditional masks. The novel structures employed in this article can serve as suitable and efficient alternative masks for detecting image edges as opposed to the commonly used traditional kernels. Finally, this article sheds light on the potential of fractional differential equations in computer vision research and the benefits of developing new approaches to improve edge detection.

Cobble edge detection algorithm based on digital image processing

Cobble size distribution (CSD) on the surface of a cobble bed is an important part of the river system, with important implications for river ecology and geomorphology. A digital image edge detection algorithm based on markers and detection lines is proposed to realize automatic statistics gathering of CSD. By making multiple detection lines outward from the markers, the cobble edge detection process of 2D images is transformed into a 1D space for analysis and processing. To correct the error detection points, an edge correction algorithm based on mutation point detection is designed. Simultaneously, a cobble edge reconstruction algorithm is proposed to restore covered cobble edges. The results of a verification experiment and comparative analysis indicate that the relative error of D50, which was estimated by the algorithm in our study, is 3% in the laboratory and 8% in the field. The proposed method is reliable for the estimation of CSD with grain size range of 5 to 50 cm. In conclusion, the proposed algorithm is suitable for river geomorphology research and physical habitat studies of cobble floodplains using an unmanned aerial vehicle for remote sensing photography.

Segmentation Techniques based on Image Quality and Edge Detection Algorithms

Segmentation is one of the fundamental tasks in the area of digital image processing and analysis. Segmentation highlights parts of the image that have common features. Such areas of the image are called Region of Interest (ROI). The choice of segmentation algorithm depends on the nature of the origin images and there is no single, universal method that can always be applied. When choosing a segmentation algorithm for a particular image, it is very important to test multiple methods and choose the one that gives the best results. This paper presents a comparison of several segmentation algorithms on different origin images. The comparison was performed based on standard parameters like Mean-Square Error (MSE), Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR), Peak Signal-To-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structure Similarity Index (SSIM) etc. for image quality assessment.The results of this work can help in the selection of the edge detection algorithm and as a preparation for image segmentation.

Abstract In the context of the rapid development of science and technology and the modernization of the legal system, criminal activities are becoming more and more intelligent and technological, which also puts forward higher requirements for criminal technology. The current criminal technology equipment is relatively backward, and the technical level is not high enough, resulting in a low utilization rate of trace material evidence extraction, which directly affects the role of criminal technology in the investigation and solving of cases.

The utilization rate is increased by 7.04%. The recognition accuracy of the fuzzy recognition method is also 13.2% higher than that of the methods in the literature.

Interannual, Seasonal, and Monthly Variability of Sea Surface Temperature Fronts in Offshore China from 1982–2021

The offshore China (OC) region is a significant sea area in the Western Pacific and many researchers have been interested in the distribution of sea surface temperature (SST) fronts in this area. In this study, the Cayula and Cornillon single image edge detection algorithm was used to detect SST fronts using the Daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature data from 1982 to 2021. The results revealed that there are eighteen SST fronts in OC— three in the Bohai Sea, seven in the Yellow Sea, two in the East China Sea, five in the South China Sea, one in the Pacific Ocean east of Taiwan province, China—and among them a new front was detected in the Yellow Sea and named the Yellow Sea Ring Front. The frequency of most fronts showed a tendency of initially increasing and then decreasing from January to September, followed by a trend of growing steadily from October to December. The frequency of a few fronts showed a decreasing tendency from January to September and an increasing tendency from October to December. The frequency of most fronts is highest in winter and lowest in summer. In spring and autumn, the frequency of most fronts is lower than that in winter and higher than that in summer. The annual average frontal probability of five-ninths of the fronts showed an upward trend, and the annual average frontal probability value of one-third of the fronts showed a downward trend. The rest of the fronts showed a stable trend. The results of this paper also showed that the Liaodong Bay Front and the Bohai-Laizhou Bay Front did not form a complete front, as previously reported. In addition, the frontal probability of the Bohai Front to the north of 39° N was in the tendency of decreasing.

This paper conducts a research on the wavelet construction and application of image edge detection. Taking the image edge detection algorithm based on wavelet modulus maxima as the research subject, this paper discusses the problem of dislocation phenomenon, threshold selection, multi-scale edge fusion and evaluation criterion in the algorithm, and proposes an improved self-adaptive hierarchical threshold algorithm based on information amount and vanishing moment. From the angle of wavelet symmetry, filter composition and vanishing moment, the influence of wavelet property on image edge detection is studied, and the construction requirements of wavelet filter banks for image edge detection are proposed.

Da Vinci Robot-Assisted Video Image Processing under Artificial Intelligence Vision Processing Technology.

This research was aimed to explore the application value of intelligent algorithm-based digital images in Da Vinci robot-assisted treatment of patients with gastric cancer surgery. 154 patients were included as the research objects, with 89 cases in the control group underwent laparoscopic surgery, and 65 cases in the experimental group underwent robotic surgery. According to the propensity score, the patients in two groups were pair matched (1: 1), of which 104 cases (52 cases in each group) were successfully matched. The general data of patients, the changes in the images before and after the algorithm processing, the intraoperative and postoperative conditions, the pathological examination results, and the follow-up information were observed after matching. Compared with the original images, the images processed by the thread image edge detection algorithm had the significantly improved clarity, as well as highly reduced artifacts and noises. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of image-assisted diagnosis were improved remarkably, showing the differences of statistical significance (P < 0.05). The total time of surgery, intraoperative bleeding, CRP (1d and 3d after surgery), and postoperative total abdominal drainage showed the significant differences as well (P < 0.05). The surgeries of patients in both groups met R0 resection (no tumor infiltration within 1 mm of the surgical margin), but there was a significant difference in the number of lymph node dissections (P < 0.05). The overall survival rates of patients in the experimental group and the control group were 83.0% and 76.1%, respectively, 2 years after surgery, with no significant difference (P > 0.05). The thread image edge detection algorithm produced a better processing effect on the images, which greatly improved the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Compared with endoscopic surgery, robotic surgery has better postoperative recovery, safety and reliability, and obvious advantages of minimally invasive surgery.

Combined evaluation of Young modulus and fracture toughness in small specimens of fine grained nuclear graphite using 3D image analysis

The fracture toughness of the fine-grained nuclear graphite SNG742 has been investigated by observation of stable crack propagation in double cleavage drilled compression specimens. The three-dimensional displacement fields were obtained by digital volume correlation (DVC) of in situ laboratory X-ray computed tomographs. The crack tip location and crack opening displacements were determined using an image edge detection algorithm based on the wavelet modulus maxima. The Young modulus was estimated by fitting a finite element model to DVC displacement field data measured before crack initiation. Using the 3D crack geometry and the surrounding full-field 3D displacement fields as boundary conditions, the elastic strain energy release rate J and the three-dimensional stress intensity factors KI to KIII were then evaluated via the contour integral method. Constant mode I critical stress intensity factor was obtained along the curved crack fronts, with negligible shearing modes. This method allows evaluation of the fracture toughness without prior knowledge of elastic properties, and has potential applications to assess the effects of high temperature, oxidation and irradiation in small specimens of nuclear graphite.

Insulator Hydrophobic Image Edge Detection Algorithm considering Deconvolution and Deblurring Algorithm

In this paper, the Gram matrix is used to calculate the correlation of the filter response sets under different scale kernels learned by each layer of the network in the deconvolution, and the loss between the corresponding feature response correlations in the multilayer network is calculated. Linear summation is used to obtain a stable, multiscale image model representation. This paper extracts the contours of the salient areas of the image and adjusts the parameters of the deconvolution network to learn the salient area patterns of the image. At the same time, for the image to be generated, a shape template is used to limit the range of the area to be generated in order to obtain a shape image with similar patterns. When the spatial relative relationship characteristics of the image constituent objects are obvious, we appropriately add high-level semantic feature activation values for reinforcement. This paper solves the estimation of the unknown blur kernel by using image prior knowledge, filtering and gradient domain algorithms and other different technologies to obtain image jitter or scene movement information and estimate the size, location, and density of the blur kernel. This paper studies a relatively robust deconvolution model, which is insensitive to random noise, has stable effects, and can overcome the water ripple effect caused by the usual convolution process. This paper attempts to study the fuzzy model with variable space. The usual blur is a spatial invariant model; that is, a single kernel is used to describe the motion of all pixels on the image. By selecting different characteristic parameters, this paper conducts experimental research on some existing hydrophobic indicator function methods and calculates the relationship between characteristic parameters and hydrophobicity when different hydrophobic indicator functions are adopted. One characteristic of the hydrophobic image of composite insulators is low contrast. The traditional method of converting color images to grayscale images cannot improve the image contrast. This paper analyzes the hydrophobic image of the composite insulator, and the extracted B channel component image of the hydrophobic image improves the contrast of the image and facilitates the subsequent segmentation of water traces and background. In this paper, the water repellent image's watermark area is counted, and connected-domain wave processing is used to limit the area of water droplets retained, thereby improving the efficiency of filtering water droplets without having a big impact on the image as a whole. The problem of uneven illumination is an unavoidable problem in the field of image processing, and the resulting reflection problem brings difficulties to image processing. This article regards the reflective area of the watermark as a “hole” and uses the idea of “hole filling” to eliminate the reflective point, which weakens the reflection problem to a certain extent.
