    Basic Edge Detection by Using First-Order Derivative

    Uploaded by

    KumarPatra
    This document discusses basic edge detection techniques using first and second order derivatives. It describes how gradient operators like Roberts, Prewitt, and Sobel use 3x3 masks to approximate partial derivatives and detect edges. While Prewitt operators are simpler, Sobel masks have better noise suppression. The document also notes that the Laplacian is sensitive to noise and produces double edges, but its zero-crossings can help detect edges when combined with smoothing.

    Basic Edge Detection by Using First-Order Derivative

    Gradient (f): for finding edge strength and direction at location (x, y) of an image f
    gx, gy, M(x, y) are images of same size as the original, when x, y are allowed to vary over all pixel locations in f The gradient vector is called edge normal When the vector is normalized to unit length by dividing it by its magnitude, the resulting vector is the edge unit normal

    In vector calculus, the gradient of a scalar field is a vector field that points in the direction of the greatest rate of increase of the scalar field, and whose magnitude is that rate of increase. In simple terms, the variation in space of any quantity can be represented (e.g. graphically) by a slope. The gradient represents the steepness and direction of that slope.

    Gradient Operators

    ..10.2-12

    .10.2-13

    Roberts operator are based on implementing the diagonal differences

    Prewitt operators are based on digital approximations to the partial derivatives using masks of size 3 X 3 given by

    Sobel operators are based on digital approximations to the partial derivatives using masks of size 3 X 3 given by

    The Prewitt masks are simpler to implement than the Sobel masks, but Sobel masks have better noise-suppression (smoothing) characteristics

    For reducing the contribution of image detail (such as wall bricks) to edges, image-averaging is needed before computing gradient

    Second derivative: Laplacian operators

    Several reasons that Laplacian generally is not used in its original form for edge detection:
    The Laplacian is unacceptably sensitive to noise; The magnitude of the Laplacian produces double edges, an undesirable effect because it complicates segmentation; unable to detect edge direction

    For this reasons, the role of the Laplacian in segmentation includes:


    Using its zero-crossing property for edge detection; Using it help to determine whether a pixel is on the dark or light side of an edge.

    In the role of first category, the Laplacian is combined with smoothing as a precursor to finding edges via zero-crossing.
