WORK OBJECTIVE
To subdivide an image into its component or regions or object. It should stop when the objects of interest in an application have been isolated.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of image segmentation is to partition an image into meaningful regions with respect to a particular application. The segmentation is based on measurements taken from the image and might be greylevel, colour, texture, depth or motion.

EDGES IN IMAGE
An edges that correspond to object boundaries. Image pixels brightness changes abruptly. The image function behavior in a neighborhood of the pixel

EDGE DETECTION
Edge detection is the approach used most frequently for segmenting images based on abrupt(local) changes in intensity. Edge models are classified according to their intensity profiles

METHODS OF EDGE DETECTION

First Order Derivative / Gradient Methods

Roberts Operator Sobel Operator Prewitt Operator

Second Order Derivative

Laplacian operator Differential operator

Gray-Level Transition

THE FIRST DERIVATIVE

GRADIENT OPERATORS

The gradient of the image I(x,y) at location(x,y),is the vector:

The magnitude of the gradient:

The direction of the gradient vector:

CALCULATING THE GRADIENT

For each pixel the gradient is calculated, based on a 3x3 neighborhood around this pixel.

z1 z2 z3 z4 z5 z6 z7 z8 z9

ROBERTS OPERATOR
Mark edge point only Mostly suitable for binary images

PREWITT OPERATOR

Looks for edges in both horizontal and vertical directions, then combine the information into a single metric.

SOBEL OPERATOR

Similar to the Prewitt, with different mask coefficients:

LAPLACIAN OPERATOR
Edge magnitude is approximated in digital images by a convolution sum. The sign of the result (+ or -) from two adjacent pixels provide edge orientation and tells us which side of edge brighter
