Abstract:
Since edge detection is in the forefront of image processing for object detection, it is crucial to have
a good understanding of edge detection algorithms. This paper describes algorithmic approach to
implement Laplacian of Gaussian for edge detection in an image. Algorithms are the implemented
in MATLAB. The paper presents developed LoG filter with varying sigma according to user
dependent value.
Introduction:
Edge detection is one of the most commonly used operations in image analysis. An edge is defined
by a discontinuity in grey level values. In other words, an edge is the boundary between an object
and the background. The shape of edges in images depends on many parameters: The geometrical
and optical properties of the object, the illumination conditions, and the noise level in the images.
We have used Gaussian smoothing and then apply to detect edge and implemented the 5 x 5 filter
for all operators using MATLAB.
