چکیده

We study the method of Sun et al. for edge detection based on the Law of Universal Gravity. We analyze the effect of the substitution of the product operation by other triangular norms in the calculation of the gravitational forces. We treat edges as fuzzy sets for which membership degrees are extracted from the resulting gravitational force on each pixel. We consider several prototypical triangular norms and experimentally show that their features determine the kind of edges detected. The new method is tested on the Berkeley Segmentation Dataset, showing to be competitive compared to the Canny method. & 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Comparison of derivative-based methods by normalized standard deviation approach for edge detection of gravity anomalies

This paper describes the application of the so-called normalized standard deviation (NSTD) method to detect edges of gravity anomalies. Using derivative-based methods enhances the anomaly edges, leading to significant improvement of the interpretation of the geological features. There are many methods for enhancing the edges, most of which are high-pass filters based on the horizontal or vertic...

A FUZZY DIFFERENCE BASED EDGE DETECTOR

In this paper, a new algorithm for edge detection based on fuzzyconcept is suggested. The proposed approach defines dynamic membershipfunctions for different groups of pixels in a 3 by 3 neighborhood of the centralpixel. Then, fuzzy distance and -cut theory are applied to detect the edgemap by following a simple heuristic thresholding rule to produce a thin edgeimage. A large number of experime...

Enhancing magnetic signals in unexploded ordnances (UXO) detection based on edge-preserved stable downward continuation method

This paper describes an efficient edge-preserved regularization algorithm for downward continuation of magnetic data in detection of unexploded ordnance (UXO). The magnetic anomalies arising from multi-source UXO can overlap at a height over the ground surface, while causative sources may not be readily separated due to low level of signal-to-noise ratio of the observed data. To effectively the...

Edge Detection Based On Nearest Neighbor Linear Cellular Automata Rules and Fuzzy Rule Based System

 Edge Detection is an important task for sharpening the boundary of images to detect the region of interest. This paper applies a linear cellular automata rules and a Mamdani Fuzzy inference model for edge detection in both monochromatic and the RGB images. In the uniform cellular automata a transition matrix has been developed for edge detection. The Results have been compared to the ...

Alternative approaches to obtain t-norms and t-conorms on bounded lattices

Triangular norms in the study of probabilistic metric spaces as a special kind of associative functions defined on the unit interval. These functions have found applications in many areas since then. In this study, we present new methods for constructing triangular norms and triangular conorms on an arbitrary bounded lattice under some constraints. Also, we give some illustrative examples for t...
