Edge Detection Using Fuzzy Logic with Varied
Inputs
Pragya Tiwari
Amity School of Engineering & Technology, Amity University, Jaipur, India
Abstract: Image processing refers to a type of signal processing where the input is an image and output is an image
or some of the characteristics of the image such as objects in image, contrast and many more. Edge Detection is
considered as one of the most important process in the field of image processing. The existing edge detection
algorithms like sobel, prewitt, canny, etc have various limitations. These limitations are overcome using a
technique like fuzzy logic. This paper discusses about use of fuzzy logic for edge detection along with some other
edge detection techniques incorporated as input the fuzzy system and provides an algorithm for the same.. The
paper provides a comparison of the algorithm with varied inputs for real image.
Keywords: Edge Detection, Fuzzy logic, Image Processing, Laplacian edge detector, Prewitt edge detector, Sobel
edge detector.
I. INTRODUCTION
Fuzzy image processing has emerged as an optimal solution for edge detection technique in the past few years. This
technique which is used for understanding, representing and processing the images, their segments and features as fuzzy
sets [6].
A) Edge Detection:
Edge detection plays a very significant role in the field of image processing. A lot of research work has been done in this
field in the past few years and various edge detection algorithms have been developed. Some of them are sobel, prewitt,
Laplacian, canny algorithm. The algorithms stated above have limitations such as selecting a threshold value, sensitivity
to noise and judging edges over crisp boundaries.
B) Fuzzy Image Processing:
The fuzzy logic[3] approach overcomes the limitation of the above stated algorithms and provides a better performance.
The fuzzy logic uses a truth value that ranges between 0 to 1. Fuzzy image processing has three main stages: image
fuzzification, modification of membership values, and if required, image defuzzification. The coding of image data
(fuzzification) and decoding of the results (defuzzification) are steps that make possible to process images with fuzzy
techniques. The main power of fuzzy image processing is in the middle step (modification of membership values).[4]
This paper discusses an algorithm for fuzzy logic based edge detection in which various inputs are provided to the fuzzy
system. The comparison of algorithm with various inputs is done for real images. The algorithm stated in the paper takes
the output of various edge detection algorithms as input and applies fuzzy logic on the image to obtain a better image with
edges. Some of the operators used in algorithm to provide input are Sobel Operator, Prewitt Operator[1], Laplacian of
Gaussian Operator[2] and Canny algorithm[5].
Section 2 of the paper describes the proposed algorithm. Section 3 provides the result of the proposed algorithm in the
form of comparison for real images. Section 4 provides the conclusion.

Algorithm:-
Step 1- Input the desired image for which edge detection is to be done.
Step 2- Convert the RGB image to grayscale image.
Step 3- Perform the required operation to vary the input parameter to the fuzzy system.
a) To apply direct image to the system, calculate the gradients of image and provide to system.
b) To apply image after applying sobel edge detector, first apply sobel edge detection algorithm to the image, then
provide the gradients of output image as input to the system.
c) Repeat step (b) with respective algorithm for applying prewitt, canny and Laplacian operated image as input.
Step 4- Provide the output of the above step to the fuzzy system.
Step 5- Define the input and output membership function of the fuzzy system.
Step 6- State the fuzzy rules for obtaining the image edges in „if-then‟ statement.
Step 7- Compare the results obtained after applying various inputs to the system.

IV. CONCLUSION
Edge Detection plays a significant role in the field of image processing. Hence, it is very important to choose the best
algorithm to enhance the performance. In this paper we have discussed one of the famous edge detection algorithm
prevalent now-a-days i.e. edge detection using fuzzy logic. The algorithm is tested for various inputs and the output is
compared for real image. Output of various edge detection algorithms have been used as an input to the algorithm. The
paper can be used for the study of algorithm and understanding the technique in a descriptive manner. On visual
perception, we can see that the algorithm with sobel operated image as input and algorithm with prewitt operated image as
input derive similar output. The algorithm with Laplacian operated image as input provides the best result.
