Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Method for Edge Detection Using 2 Dimensional Gamma DistributionAli El-ZaartProblem statement: Edge detection is an important field in image processing. Edges characterize object boundaries and are therefore useful for segmentation, registration, feature extraction, and identification of objects in a scene. Approach: This study presented a novel method for edge detection using 2D Gamma distribution. Edge detection is traditionally implemented by convolving the image with masks. These masks are constructed … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 7,633 accessesView PDFCite
