7: Novel fractional calculus based approaches for edge detection

Abstract

Identifying edges of an image allows for the extraction of the boundaries and features within an image. So, edge detecting is a crucial step in many image processing tasks as it allows for the extraction of important features and boundaries within an image. By identifying areas with significant changes in intensity, edge detection enables the segmentation of objects, the identification of contours, and the analysis of shapes. Edge detecting a fundamental technique in different applications, such as robotics, where precise localization and interpretation of image features are critical. This chapter focuses on the application of fractional calculus in edge detection, presenting ...
