An Edge Detection Method Based on Improved Sobel Operator

Abstract:

The edge detection which comes from the classical Sobel operator in the image is based on the horizontal gradient and vertical gradient direction. On the basis of the template from two directions the method which is to detect the edges of eight directions is discussed in this paper. The image edge detection based on multiple directions can improve the accuracy of edge detection. The numerical experimental results show that the proposed method can get the smooth, continuous, multiple directions edges, and can reduce the loss of the information. The method proposed in this paper is to detect the edge of the image, which will result in higher accuracy. Especially for more complex texture image, the effect of edge detection is more obvious, and the pixel width is closer to a single pixel width. It is an effective method for edge detection.
