The reason behind enlightening this operation of edge detection is that it is used in the identification and classification of the objects in an image. In this paper we propose a new edge drawing algorithm that works by finding a set of edge points in an image and then linking these edge points by drawing edges between them. We believe that our edge detector is a novel step in edge detection and would be very suitable for the next generation real-time image processing and computer vision applications. Keywords: Edge Detection; Sobel gradient; Raster Scan; Edge linking. 1. Introduction Image processing, in general, is a form of signal processing for which the input is an image, such as a photograph or video frame and the outcome of image processing may be either an image or representing a set of characteristics or parameters related to the image under test. Image-processing algorithms mostly treat the image as a two-dimensional signal and apply standard signal-processing techniques to it. The acquisition of images (producing the input image) referred to as imaging and it can be done by an image capturing device like digital camera, etc. Digital image processing is the use of computer algorithms to perform processing on digital images. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over Analog image processing. It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and signal distortion during processing. Since images are defined over two dimensions digital image processing may be modeled in the form of multidimensional systems. Edge detection is a fundamental tool in image processing and computer vision, particularly in the areas of feature detection and feature extraction, which aim at identifying points in a digital image at which the image brightness changes sharply or, more formally, has discontinuities. The same problem of finding discontinuities in 1-Dsignals is known as step detection. 2. Edge Linking or Drawing This algorithm runs in five successive steps: 1) Image Smoothing 2) RGB to Gray Conversion 3) Determination of Sobel Gradient 4) Global Thresholding 5) Edge Linking To illustrate the output of each step of the algorithm, we have used a 512x512 RGB image Smoothing or blurring the Image The goal here is to reduce noise, which may be because of blurring of each pixel with its neighbouring pixels within an image. We perform the operation of smoothing to minimize noise. Most smoothing methods are based on low pass filters. We achieve this by a standard 5x5 rotationally symmetric or isotropic Gaussian kernel with standard deviation SIGMA (positive) σ = 1 as shown in Fig 2.1 In 2-D, an isotropic (i.e. circularly symmetric) Gaussian has the form ISSN : Vol. 4 No.12 December
2 2 2 1 x y G( x, y) e Where x and y are the distances from the origin in the horizontal and vertical axis respectively, and σ is the standard deviation of the Gaussian distribution. When applied in two dimensions, this formula produces a surface whose contours are concentric circles with a Gaussian distribution from the center point. Values from this distribution are used to build a convolution matrix which is applied to the original image. Each pixel's new value is set to a weighted average of that pixel's neighborhood. The original pixel's value receives the heaviest weight (having the highest Gaussian value) and neighboring pixels receive smaller weights as their distance to Fig D Gaussian distribution with mean (0, 0) and σ =1 the original pixel increases. This results in a blur that preserves boundaries and edges better than other, more uniform blurring filters Spatial Filtering In spatial domain the process of smoothing or Gaussian filtering is done by convolving each point in the input array with a Gaussian kernel and then summing them all to produce the output array. One of the principle justifications for using the Gaussian as a smoothing filter is due to its frequency response. Most convolutionbased smoothing filters act as low pass frequency filters. This means that their effect is to remove high spatial frequency components from an image RGB to Gray Conversion The Second step in edge detection after smoothing as a first step is to convert the raw data to a grayscale image by eliminating the hue and saturation information while retaining the luminance (brightness). Each pixel in the image indicates the level of brightness of the image: from 0 representing black to 255 representing white, with an 8-bit wide pixel. 3. Determination of Sobel Gradient [3] The Sobel operator performs a 2-D spatial gradient measurement on an image and so emphasizes regions of high spatial frequency that correspond to edges. Typically it is used to find the approximate absolute gradient magnitude at each point in an input grayscale image. In theory at least, the operator consists of a pair of 3 3 convolution kernels as shown in Figure 3.1. One kernel is simply the other rotated by 90. This is very similar to the Roberts Cross operator. These kernels are designed to respond maximally to edges running vertically and horizontally relative to the pixel grid, one kernel for each of the two perpendicular orientations. The kernels can be applied separately to the input image, to produce separate measurements of the gradient component in each orientation (call these Gx and Gy). These can then be combined together to find the absolute magnitude of the gradient at each point and the orientation of that gradient. The gradient magnitude is given by: 2 2 G G y G y Typically, an approximate magnitude is computed using: ISSN : Vol. 4 No.12 December
3 G G x G y The Sobel Gradient of the grayscale image can be obtained by first calculating the sobel masks for x and y directions and then the image is then thresholded to create a clear gradient. Edge information for a particular pixel is obtained by exploring the brightness of pixels in its neighborhood. If all of the pixels in the neighborhood have the same brightness, it indicates that there is no edge in the area. However, if some of the neighbors are much brighter than the others, it indicates that there is an edge present. Measuring the relative brightness of pixels in a neighborhood is mathematically analogous to calculating the derivative of brightness. The Sobel edge detection algorithm uses a 3x3 convolution table to store a pixel and its neighbors to calculate the derivatives. The table is moved across the image, pixel by pixel. For a 640x480 image, the convolution table will move through (638x478) different locations because we cannot calculate the derivative for pixels on the perimeter of the image. The Sobel edge detection algorithm identifies both the presence of an edge and the direction of the edge. There are eight possible directions: north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest. 4. Global Thresholding (Rafael C.Gonzalez, 2004) Thresholding is the simplest method of image segmentation. Thresholding is a non-linear operation that converts a gray-scale image into a binary image where the two levels are assigned to pixels that are below or above the specified threshold value. One method that is relatively simple, does not require much specific knowledge of the image, and is robust against image noise, is the following iterative method: a) An initial threshold (T) is chosen, and this can be done randomly or according to any other method desired. b) The image is segmented into object and background pixels as described above, creating two sets: i. G 1 = {f(m,n):f(m,n)>t} (object pixels) ii. Gx Fig Sobel Convolution Kernels G 2 = {f(m,n):f(m,n) T} (background pixels) (note, f(m,n) is the value of the pixel located in the m th column, n th row) c) The average of each set is computed. i. m 1 = average value of G 1 ii. m 2 = average value of G 2 d) A new threshold is created that is the average of m 1 and m 2 i. T I = (m 1 + m 2 )/2 e) Go back to step two, now using the new threshold computed in step four, keep repeating until the new threshold matches the one before it (i.e. until convergence has been reached). This iterative algorithm is a special one-dimensional case of the k-means clustering algorithm, which has been proven to converge at a local minimum meaning that a different initial threshold may give a different final result. 5. Edge Linking Considering the thresholded image obtained above and setting an optimum edge length we perform the operation of image morphing by removing isolated pixels i.e., 1 s and 0 s. Now the image has been thinned by skeletonization [5] which removes the pixels on the boundaries of objects in the image without allowing objects to break apart. Now we find the junctions in the edge information while testing whether the center pixel within a 3x3 neighbourhood is a junction or not. The procedure followed here is that the center pixel must be set and the number of transitions or crossings between 0 & 1 as one traverses the perimeter of the 3x3 region must be six or eight.

4 5.1 Raster Scan for computation of EdgeLists [2] In a raster scan, an image is subdivided into a sequence of (usually horizontal) strips known as "scan lines". Each scan line can be transmitted in the form of an analog signal as it is read from the video source, as in television systems, or can be further divided into discrete pixels for processing in a computer system. This ordering of pixels by rows is known as raster order, or raster scan order as shown in Fig Fig Raster Scan Perform raster scan through image looking for edge points. We find the edge points one by one based on eightconnectivity as they are encoded by the negative edge number within the image bounds. Whenever the junction point is hit we stop tracking here otherwise we continue tracking. Now track from original point in the opposite direction - but only if the starting point was not a junction point. Finally negate edge image to make edge encodings positive. 5.2 Elimination of Isolated edges and spurs After calculating the edge lists through Raster Scan eliminate isolated edges and spurs that are below the minimum length. Each edgelist has two end nodes - the starting point and the ending point. We build up an adjacency/connection matrix for each node so that we can determine which, if any, edgelists are connected to a node. We also maintain an adjacency matrix for the edges themselves. 5.3 Edge Drawing [1] by Linking points in EdgeLists In this step, the goal is to link real edges by starting at an edgelist point and tracing a pathway to the next edgelist point along the same edge region. Red points in the Figure5.3.1illustrate actual edge points, and arrows indicate the pathway direction. Assume we start at the edge point in the middle. Since this is a horizontal edge, we first link pixels to west by going over the pixels having the maximum gradient values. Figure gives the linking process details. The numbers inside the boxes colored green indicate the gradient value at that pixel, i.e., Gx + Gy. The three edgelist points are marked with green boxes. Assume that we start at the edgelist point in the middle. As we move sidewards, we simply look at the three neighboring pixels to the west and go to the one having the maximum. Specifically, if we are at pixel (i, j) moving west and the edge passing through (i, j) is a horizontal edge, then we look at pixels (i-1, j-1), (i, j-1), (i+1, j-1) and simply go to the one having the maximum value. This linking process makes us go over the real edge marked with yellow circles, until we hit the next edgelist point. The real path drawn during the linking process is shown with yellow circles. This linking process draws a perfect contiguous 1-pixel wide edge. If the edge was vertical, then we would have traced a path to the up (North) and to the down (South) of the edgelist point. Specifically, going up from (i, j), we would look at pixels (i-1, j-1), (i-1, j) and (i-1, j+1) and go to the one having the maximum value. Similarly, going down from (i, j), we would look at pixels (i+1, j-1), (i+1, j) and (i+1, j+1) and go to the one having the maximum value. ISSN : Vol. 4 No.12 December
5 Fig Edge Linking Illustration. 6. Results The results for edge detection and linking are compared for canny and also sobel edge detectors. Fig 6.1 is the input RGB image of size 512x512. The importance here we understood is that some of the missing edges using canny edge detectors along with edge linking are visible using Sobel edge detector with edge linking but at the expense of some false positives in the latter. The missing edges in canny edge linking result in Figure 6.2 are indicated with numbers one, two and three in its counterpart sobel edge linking result. Note that the Linked edges shown in the Figure 6.2 are one pixel wide. The Limitation in the form of some false positives can be observed in the sobel output in the bottom right corner compared to the canny result. ISSN : Vol. 4 No.12 December

Conclusion and Future Scope With this proposed work we show that missing edges in the edge detected output can be obtained with the process of edge linking. This process of edge linking can be associated not only with Canny or Sobel edge detecting algorithms but also with other existing edge detection algorithms. The future scope for this work is that algorithms can be set as to eliminate the false edges in the result. 8.
