CSPC: A New Approach for Edge Detection of Gray-Scale Images

Abstract

We can define an edge of an image as a set of connected pixels that creates boundaries of several objects in an image. Generally, Edge detection is a process of segmenting an image into regions of discontinuity. Edge detection takes a greater role in digital image processing as well as practical aspects of our life.Edges of an image can begenerated by implementingseveral edge detector mechanisms.In this paper, anew edge detectionmechanismthat computes edges of different images using the quantitative combination of Canny-Sobel-Prewitt-Canny (C-S-P-C) edge detectors is presented.Here the proposed methodology is compared with Canny, Sobel and Prewitt edge detectors separately.
