edge detection of synthetic image using ghm multiwavelet transform

Edge Detection of Synthetic Image Using GHM Multiwavelet TransformM s f(x,y)- modulus of the wavelet transform.A s f(x,y)- modulus angle which indicate the directionwhere the signal has the sharpest Variation.After getting the M s f(x,y) and A s f(x,y) the edgepoint is the one that has the locally maximum modulusamong direction A s f(x,y). After a threshold is applied,the edge point below modulus will be eliminated andthis can reduce many false edge points.B. Non Maximal SuppressionThe purpose of this step is to convert the “blurred”edges in the image of the gradient magnitudes to “sharp”edges. On maxima suppression step makes all edges intoone pixel thick. Each pixel in turn forms the centre of anine pixel neighborhood and considers the gradientmagnitudes at the neighborhood boundary in bothdirections perpendicular to the centre pixel. If the pixelunder consideration is not greater than these two values,it will be suppressed. Consider the pixel underconsideration as C and the neighboring pixel in theperpendicular direction as A and B. If M(A)>M(C) orM(B)>M(C) discard the pixel C by setting it to zero. IfM(C)>M(A) and M(C)>M(B) the pixel C is not deletedPixel A and B are deletedC. Hysteresis ThresholdingHysteresis method identifies the strong edges andpreserves the relevant weak edges. In this method twothresholds T H and T L are applied to the output of NonMaximal Suppression M nms (x, y). A pixel is calledstrong if M nms (x, y)> T H . A pixel is called weak if M nms(x, y) ≤ T L. Discard the pixel if it is weak and preserve ifit is strong. If the pixel value is greater than T H orbetween T L and T H then quantize it as 1. If the pixelvalue is less than T L then quantize it as 0.Multiwavelet transform is applied on originalimage. After applying the one level multiwavelettransform four low frequency subbands and twelve highfrequency subbands are obtained because, themultiwavelet have two scaling and two waveletfunction. Apply edge detection algorithm to the highfrequency subbands since it consists of most of highfrequency coefficients i.e., both edges and noises. Thenumber of levels can be increased depending on therequirement of details desired in the edges. Thisalgorithm flow is shown in Fig.2V. EDGE DETECTION USING CANNY EDGE DETECTOR,SWT AND DMWTIn hysteresis thresholding, set the lower thresholdvalue as 0.2 and upper threshold value as 0.5. The thirdand fourth steps involved in canny edge detectoralgorithm are employed in high frequency subbands ofSWT and DMWT decomposition. The same thresholdvalues are used for all the methods and the edge mapobtained is shown in the Fig.3.Original Canny SWT DMWT(a) Edge Detection Methods for Lena Image(b)Edge Detection Methods for Square ImageImageDiscrete MultiwaveletTransform(c) Edge Detection Methods for Square Image(Different Intensity)Applying Edge DetectionAlgorithm(d) Edge Detection Methods for Circle Image with noiseFinding of edges from detailcoefficientsImage Edge mapFig.2 Algorithm flow of Proposed MethodFig.3 Edge map comparison for various methodsThe outputs of edge detection using Multiwavelettransform provides better result compared to classicaledge detector canny and SWT wavelet based edgedetector .401 | P a g e

No. of Edge PixelsSindhuja et. al.The proposed algorithm is checked with squareimage of size 586X586. All the center squares haveexactly the same intensity. However, they appear to theeye to become darker as the background gets lighter.The algorithm is tested for laboratory generatedsynthetic image circle. For a circle image with differentgray levels, Gaussian noise with variance 0.01 is addedand edge detection is computed for this noisy image theresults obtained is as shown in Fig.3 (d). From theresults it is known that even though the canny edgedetector can provide good edge localization it is highlysensitive to noise. Edge detection using DMWT canprovide good edge map even in noisy environment.pixels the number of missed edge pixels can becalculated. From total number of edge pixels detectedand number of correctly detected edge pixels the numberof falsely detected edge pixels can be calculated. Theperformance Comparison Chart for 21- Level StepWedges is shown in Fig.5.The FCR value is calculated for each image usingdifferent edge detection methods and the values aregiven in TABLE III. When FCR value is low then theperformance is good. From the TABLE III, FCR valueof multiwavelet is less so multiwavelet providessuperior performance compared to other two edgedetection methods.VI.EDGE DETECTION IN SYNTHETIC IMAGEPerformance of multiwavelet is examined for theclass of synthetic image (21 level step wedge) of size501 x 501 by FCR calculation. In Synthetic image, theideal number of edge pixels and their correct position isknown in advance. The ideal number of edge pixel inthe synthetic image is 3996.Canny Original SWT DMWTFig.4 Edge Map for Synthetic ImageIn canny all the edge pixels are not detected. Inedge detection using SWT it is able to detect only somethe vertical edge pixels, but in multiwavelet based edgedetection most of the ideal edge pixels are detected. Theresults for the synthetic image are as shown in Figure 4.VII. PERFORMANCE COMPARISONA quantitative performance evaluation model,called the false-detected to correct-detected ratio (FCR)model, is proposed for the evaluation of edge detectors.The FCR model attempts to provide a common groundfor the quantitative performance evaluation andcomparison between different edge detection schemes.The Synthetic image is taken from USC-SIPI databasewhich can be used for modeling and visualizationbecause the true edge position is known and thereforequantitative evaluations using the False-Correct Ratio(FCR) are possible.False-Correct Ratio = Number of falsely detected pixelsNumber of correctly-detectedpixelsComparison is given in the TABLE II; by usingideal number of pixels and correctly detected edgeFig.5 Performance Comparison Chart for 21- Level Step WedgeTABLE II: COMPARISON OF DMWT WITH SWT AND CANNY EDGEDETECTORImage21-levelstepwedgeCircleNo. ofIdealEdgepixels3996814EdgeDetectorTotalno. ofedgepixelsdetectedNo. ofcorrectlydetectededgepixelsNo. ofmissededgepixelsNo. offalselydetectededgepixelsCanny 3971 2164 1832 1807SWT 4703 828 3168 3875DMWT4661 3767 229 894Canny 804 16 798 788SWT 318 12 802 306DMWT634 222 592 412TABLE III: FCR CALCULATION FOR DIFFERENT EDGE DETECTIONMETHOD402 | P a g e

Fromthe experimental results it is observed that the proposedmethod showed satisfying performance than scalarwavelet and canny edge detector.The multiwavelets can better capture the sharpedges and geometric patterns that occur in the syntheticimage. For natural images that contain both low andhigh frequency areas, multiwavelets with shufflinggenerally give performance that is competitive to scalarwavelets.Processing, Vol 48, No.1, pp 184-191, 2000.[12] Sharma A, „Spatial Data Mining for Drought Monitoring: AnApproach Using temporal NDVI and Rainfall Relationship‟Thesis, submitted to the International Institute for GeoinformationScience and Earth Observation, 2006.[13] Sundhakar R. and Jayaraman S.”Fingerprint compression usingmultiwavelets”, International Journal of Signal Processing, pp-78-87, 2006.[14] Zhang S.
