Edge Detection Based on Fuzzy Logic and Hybrid Types of Shannon Entropy

Abstract

Edge is basically the symbol and reflection of partial image discreteness. It is one of the most commonly used operations in image processing and pattern recognition, it contains a wealth of internal information leading to strong interpretation of image. Resisting against noise, illumination and extracting appropriate features from an image is a great challenge in many computer vision applications. Indeed this topic participates to reduce the handled information and focuses on those related to existing objects. Efficient and accurate edge detection will lead to increase in the performance of many computer vision applications, including image segmentation, object-based image coding and image retrieval. Contour detection contributes to locate pixel sets which correspond to sudden intensities variation, these unstable properties of the given image commonly suggest to important events on going in the scene. In this paper, we present in the first time a novel and robust method for edge detection based on joint and conditional entropy when we highlight a Shannon theory, the second part of this paper is dedicated to decision making of edge pixels membership by intelligent method based on fuzzy logic tool.
