Rice Edges Detection Based on Canny Operator

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rice edge detection is the first step on obtaining rice image feature. In this paper, an improved Canny edge detection algorithm was represented to obtain thin and robust rice edges. Firstly, nonlinear diffusion filter was used to wipe of noise efficiently and kept the edge information of the image. Secondly, gradient calculation of pixel diagonal direction was considered in the calculation of neighborhood gradient amplitude which further repressed the impact of noise. Thirdly, using average interclass variance could self-adaptively calculate the double thresholds for different images. The results of the experiment indicate that the improved algorithm has a better accuracy and precision in the edge detection.
