Edge Detection Based on Standard Deviation Value and Back Propagation Algorithm of Artificial Neural Network

Abstract

This paper presents a proposed neural network based edge detectionalgorithm. we have used artificial neural network system to decide about whethereach pixel is edge or not. First standard deviation values are computed for mask(3*3), Then after training a neural network system to recognize structural patterns(these pattern represents edges), it decides on each pixel if its edge or not. Finallywe have test the proposed method on different images. Experimental results showthe ability and high performance of proposed algorithm.
