A new method for detecting the outer corneal contour in images from an ultra-fast Scheimpflug camera

BackgroundThe Corvis® ST tonometer is an innovative device which, by combining a classic non-contact tonometer with an ultra-fast Scheimpflug camera, provides a number of parameters allowing for the assessment of corneal biomechanics. The acquired biomechanical parameters improve medical diagnosis of selected eye diseases. One of the key elements in biomechanical measurements is the correct corneal contour detection, which is the basis for further calculations. The presented study deals with the problem of outer corneal edge detection based on a series of images from the afore-mentioned device. Corneal contour detection is the first and extremely important stage in the acquisition and analysis of corneal dynamic parameters.ResultA total of 15,400 images from the Corvis® ST tonometer acquired from 110 patients undergoing routine ophthalmologic examinations were analysed. A method of outer corneal edge detection on the basis of a series of images from the Corvis® ST was proposed. The method was compared with known and commonly used edge detectors: Sobel, Roberts, and Canny operators, as well as others, known from the literature. The analysis was carried out in MATLAB® version 9.0.0.341360 (R2016a) with the Image Processing Toolbox (version 9.4) and the Neural Network Toolbox (version 9.0). The method presented in this paper provided the smallest values of the mean error (0.16%), stability (standard deviation 0.19%) and resistance to noise, characteristic for Corvis® ST tonometry tests, compared to the methods known from the literature. The errors were 5.78 ± 9.19%, 3.43 ± 6.21%, and 1.26 ± 3.11% for the Roberts, Sobel, and Canny methods, respectively.ConclusionsThe proposed new method for detecting the outer corneal contour increases the accuracy of intraocular pressure measurements. It can be used to analyse dynamic parameters of the cornea.

Edge Detection Based on Quantum Canny Enhancement for Medical Imaging

The cancer or object detection on image Computed Tomography, X-Ray, and Mammography often use segmentation methods. The most common segmentation method used is based on edge detection. The edge detection method which is proposed in this study is Quantum based with Canny operator. The quality improvement of edge detection results is emphasized on the method to generate the gradient magnitude value which is done by observing the strength of neighbour pixel values. The strength of this pixel is obtained by calculating the pixel change value and the distance of neighbour pixels to the centre pixel. The results of the implementation show that the proposed method produces a better PSNR value than the original Canny, Sobel, Robert, and Prewitt Operator.

HAUSDORFF DERIVATIVE LAPLACIAN OPERATOR FOR IMAGE SHARPENING

Image sharpening based on the partial differential equations plays an important role in the fields of image processing. It is an effective technique to clear and sharpen image features, and provides a higher resolution for the subsequent processing. This paper makes the first attempt to employ the Hausdorff derivative Laplacian operator to sharpen the images. In terms of the visual quality of details, contours and edges, the original images and noisy images were sharpened by using an appropriate Hausdorff derivative order. Numerical results indicate that the Hausdorff derivative Laplacian operator outperforms the high-pass filtering, the Roberts operator and the traditional integer-order Laplacian operator. In comparison with the existing methods for the image sharpening, the proposed new methodology could be considered as a competitive alternative.

On the Use of Edge Features and Exponential Decaying Number of Nodes in the Hidden Layers for Handwritten Signature Recognition

Handwritten signatures are playing an important role in finance, banking and education and more because it is considered the “seal of approval” and remains the most preferred means of authentication. In this paper, an offline handwritten signature authentication algorithm is proposed using the edge features and deep feedforward neural network (DFNN). The number of hidden layers in DFNN is configured to be at least one layer and more. In this paper, an exponential decaying number of nodes in the hidden layers was proposed to achieve better recognition rate with reasonable training time. Of the six edge algorithms evaluated, Roberts operator and Canny edge detectors were found to produce better recognition rate. Results showed that the proposed exponential decaying number of nodes in the hidden layers outperform other structure. However, more training data was required so that the proposed DFNN structure could have more efficient learning.

Human vision can do amazing things such as recognizing people or objects, navigating through obstacles, recognizing the mood in a scene, and imagining stories. To do mimicry of the human vision, the computer requires a sensor that functions like the human eye and a computer program that serves as a data processor from the sensor. Computer vision is the science that uses image processing to make decisions based on images obtained from sensors. In other words, computer vision aims to build an intelligent machine that can see. Computer vision can be used to detect skin diseases, for example, to detect disease Shingles (Herpes Zoster), Hives (Urticaria), Psoriasis, Eczema, Rosacea, Cold Sores (Fever Blisters), Rash, Razor Bumps, Skin Tags, Acne, Athlete's Foot, moles, Age or Liver Spots, Pityriasis Rosea, Melasma (Pregnancy Mask), Warts, and Seborrheic keratoses.

Evaluation and comparison of retinal blood vessels extraction using edge detectors in diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a vascular disorder that affects the microvasculature of the retina. Early detection of DR helps the ophthalmologists in diagnosis and treatment to save the vision of the patient. The change in appearance of retinal blood vessel structures can be detected by edge detectors. In this paper different edge detectors have been evaluated to find the abnormalities in diabetic retinal blood vessels and the results are compared with a healthy retinal image. The peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error values are computed for quantitative evaluation and the modulation-transfer function has been performed to represent the results graphically for edge detectors. The evaluated result shows that the Canny operator gives better output with high PSNR values in detecting tiny blood vessels of retina compared to other edge detectors like Robert, Prewitt and Sobel operator. The average value of the sensitivity and specificity are 15.6% and 85.4%.

In the field of image processing, edges of an image are important as they characterize boundaries. To reduce the volume of data and refine insignificant information without damaging the structural properties of an image, a process called Image Edge Detection may be performed. Understanding algorithms of edge detection is therefore imperative because it is essential in image processing, particularly in object detection. This paper aimed to recognize this importance to detect human object in particular by conducting an experiment , with emphasis on entropy.

Cellular edge detection: Combining cellular automata and cellular learning automata

In this paper, we propose a cellular edge detection (CED) algorithm which utilizes cellular automata (CA) and cellular learning automata (CLA). The CED algorithm is an adaptive, intelligent and learnable algorithm for edge detection of binary and grayscale images. Here, we introduce a new CA local rule with adaptive neighborhood type to produce the edge map of image as opposed to CA with fixed neighborhood. The proposed adaptive algorithm uses the von Neumann and Moore neighborhood types. Experimental results demonstrate that the CED algorithm has superior accuracy and performance in contrast to other edge detection methods such as Sobel, Prewitt, Robert, LoG and Canny operators. Moreover, the CED algorithm loses fewer details while extracting image edges compare to other edge detection methods.

IARJSET - Science, Engineering and Technology

Edge detection is an important technique in image processing .In this paper, a new approach to edge detection (Min Constructor - Gaussian Operator) is presented. Here the result of some traditional edge detection methods such as Sobel,Prewitt and Robert operator are compared with this new approach. Edge detection algorithm is essentially a process of detection of this discontinues in an image.The nature of intensity variation points to application of derivative operators for detecting edges.Application of derivative operator on intensity image produce another image ,usually called gradient image as it reveals the rate of intensity variation .The image is then made to undergo thresholding and /or edge linking in order to yield contours.There are many ways to perform edge detection. However, the majority of different methods may be grouped into two categories, Gradient and Laplacian. The gradient method detects the edges by looking for the maximum and minimum in the first derivative of the image. The Laplacian method searches for zero crossings in the second derivative of the image to find edges. An edge has the one-dimensional shape of a ramp and calculating the derivative of the image can highlight its location. The goal of edge detection is to mark the points in a digital image at which the luminous intensity changes sharply. Sharp changes in image properties usually reflect important events and changes in properties of the world. These include discontinuities in depth, discontinuities in surface orientation, changes in material properties and Variations in scene illumination. Edge detection is a research field within image processing and computer vision, in particular within the area of feature extraction. There are many methods for edge detection(1), but most of them can be grouped into two categories, search-based and zero-crossing based. The search-based methods detect edges by first computing a measure of edge strength, usually a first-order derivative expression such as the gradient magnitude, and then searching for local directional maxima of the gradient magnitude using a computed estimate of the local orientation of the edge, usually the gradient direction. The zero-crossing based methods search for zero crossings in a second-order derivative expression computed from the image in order to find edges, usually the zero-crossings of the Laplacian or the zero-crossings of a non-linear differential expression, as will be described in the section on differential edge

Location Technology of Correlation Peaks Based on Joint Transform Correlator

By comparing the similarity of their contour information, hybrid photoelectric joint transform correlator (JTC) is used to recognize the specific target. An effective method to increase the recognition rate is to extract the contour information of target and template and decrease the noise interference in image background. The principle of joint transform correlator is given in this paper. To increase the recognizing rate, a mask algorithm is presented, with which the coordinate of the correlation peaks can be located precisely. Before the mask algorithm, edge extraction with Robert operator is carried out to enhance the target contour information and reduce the background noise. Amounts of experiments prove the mask algorithm can locate the correlation peaks precisely. As an example, an experimental result is given with a car as the detected target. The coordinate of this car is (362, 438). Experimental results confirm the feasibility and effectiveness of the mask algorithm.
