Report Digital Image Processing On Edge Detection of Image
Vision is a major source of information for human beings. ‘ Earlier it was impossible to achieve
but due to the development of new technologies it has been made possible’. Image processing
has its impact on communication devices also. By digital image processing we can enhance the
image , extract the text from image, edges of images can be detect and we can apply other effects
also . We can get any details about the images . There are many applications of digital image
processing. Almost this technique is use in every field , medical field , rorbotics., neural
networking , also useful in Crime branch for investigation.
The project mainly deals with one of the application of digital image processing that is detecting
edges in the images.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 DEFINATION
Digital image processing is concerned with processing of an image. Image processing is a
method to perform operations on images like enhancing images, extracting text from image,
detecting edge of image and many other operations. In digital image processing we take an
image and convert that image in different forms. Like if we take color image we can convert it
into grey image. In this both the input and output is an image. Usually Image Processing system
includes treating images as two dimensional signals while applying already set signal processing
methods to them.
Today, its is rapidly growing technology. It forms core research area within engineering and
computer science disciplines too. Image processing has its wide applications in robotics, machine
learning, neural networking, signal processing, medical field, graphics and animations and in
many other fields.
1.2 HISTORY
Many techniques of digital image processing were developed in ,1960s at the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bell Laboratories, University of Maryland.
The cost of processing of image was very high. But that changed in 1970s, when digital image
processing grow rapidly as cheaper computer and hardware became available. Images then
could be processed in real time. With the development of fast computers available in
200s,digital image processing has become one of the most common form of image processing. It
is used because it is not only the most versatile method, but also the cheapest.

1.4 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Advantage
1. Processing of images are faster. It require less time to process the image. There is no
need of films and other photographic equipment.
2. Interactive method for detecting face, recognizing fingerprints, detecting cancer .
3. It is eco friendly process since it does not require chemicals while processing images.
4. We can change the quality of image. We can compress , enhance , quality of image
produced are good.
5. Image can be made in any required format.
6. Now a days each and every book is available on the digital stage. The demand and needs
of people are changing so having optimized digital book is need of todays generation so
the digital image processing plays vital role in publishing world.
7. Errors in images can easily be rectified.
8. It analyse blood cells and their composition in our body.
9. Through this technique robots can detect their visions.
10. Its also helps in pattern recognition.

2.2 OVERALL DISCRIPTION ABOUT SOFTWARE “MATLAB”
For implementing digital image processing we can write code in any language like python, java
and any other language. We can also use the software ‘MATLAB’ which offers lots of feature to
programmers for exploring their imagination and can make any projects related to digital image
processing by using their coding skills.
1. It has several in built commands and math functions that help in performing
mathematical calculations.
2. It also provides an interactive environment for design and problem solving.
3. MATLAB features a family of add on application specific solutions called toolboxes.
Toolboxes allow us to learn and apply special technology.
4. We can add toolboxes for signal -processing, control -systems, neural- networks, and
many other areas.
5. It has facilities for displaying vectors as graphs, and printing these graphs.
6. It include high level function for two dimensional and three dimensional data
visualization, image processing,and presentation graphics.
7. We can create GUI with the help of GUI guide to make our project more effective.
8. GUI guide contains many inbuilt functions through which we can make many unintrols
like pushbutton, toggle buttons, lists , checkboxex, axes.
9. It provides many functions and algorithms with external applications and
languages such as C, Java, .NET .

5.CONCLUSION
In a discpline of computer vision digital image processing is becoming popular day by day.
Edge detection is the initial step of recognizing object. Edges describe the boundaries of the
object that is useful for identification of objects that are presented in the scene such as X-ray
image. Edge detection is mostly use in image – segmentation . But all the edge detection
techniques are not same. They are different from each other. In this paper we have made attempt
to detect the edges in the input images using different methods. This different edge detection
technique is implemented through the software ‘MATLAB R2008a’. It has been observed that
canny edge detection is more superior than prewitt , sobel , log , roberts edge detector.

6. FUTURE SCOPE
Due to the fast development in the computer technology , future of the image- processing is
going to be more flexible. Digital image processing has wide range of applications. In future it
has been expected to be less expensive. Due to advancement of this technology there will be
millions of robots in world. Advances in the image- processing and artificial intelligence will
involve spoken commands, translation of languages, recognizing the finger prints, tracking of
people and things, diagnosing medical conditions, performing surgery and automatically driving
all forms of transport. With an increasing power of modern computing, the concept of
computation can go beyond the present limits and in future, image processing technology will
advance . The future trend in remote sensing will towards improved sensors that record the same
scene in many spectral channels. Graphics data is becoming important now a days in image
processing app1ications. In future image processing technique will play import role in space
also.
