“…Both LOG and Canny provide better result in the image with noise [1].In gray level image, each pixel is represented by 8 bit. So, gray level values vary from 0 to 255 where 0 value stands for black color and 255 value stands for white color [2].Prewitt, Sobel and LOG Operators can be applied for color images [3].Canny is widely used for gray image processing. This algorithm is unable to deal with color images.…”

“…This edge detector performs a 2-D spatial gradient measurement on an image and so emphasizes regions of high spatial frequency that correspond to edges. Generally, it is used to find the approximate absolute gradient magnitude at each point in an input gray scale image [2]. This operator consists of a pair of 3×3 convolution kernels as shown in Figure 1.…”

Abstract-Edges of an image can be considered as a type of very crucial information that can be extracted by applying several edge detectors. Edge detection of Image is a basic and important concern in computer vision and image processing. Here a new approach to edge detection of several images using fuzzy method is presented. This new approach is based on the concept of Lower Construction-Laplacian of Gaussion (LOG) Edge Detection Operator. The proposed method works better for darker (low contrast) images. Fuzzy Image processing is a very well known technique used in image processing and it gives better result in many such situations as compared to the several conventional image processing techniques. Different Gray-scale images can be processed according to fuzzy topology and likewise different color images can be processed by considering the color image as multi-dimensional gray-scale images. In this concern, a new construction method focusing on interval-valued fuzzy relations from fuzzy images by vicinity is presented. This construction methodology is related to the concepts of triangular norm (t-norm) .We analyze the effect of using t-norm. Again we examine the results extracted using some traditional edge detection operators such as Sobel, Prewitt, Canny and Robert. Finally, we apply the construction method to image processing and compare the result of our approach with those obtained by means of other.

Railway transport is a widely used means of transportation for passenger and cargo transportation. In recent years, more emphasis has been placed on railway transport. With the development of high-speed trains, it has become important for passenger transport. Due to the heavy construction of the train, continuous failures occur in the railway line. Various methods of inspection are available to detect these failures. In case of early fault detection and repair of major accidents can be prevented. In this study, an FPGA based method is proposed for rail surface inspection and fault diagnosis. The proposed method is realized by image processing with FPGA. The image is taken on the railway line with the camera attached to the FPGA development board. Pre-processing is performed on the obtained image. Edge extraction is applied to the image after pre-processing. The rail surface is detected using the image obtained as a result of edge extraction. The proposed method works in real time to monitor and diagnose faults. It detects many defects on the track surface. In addition, the proposed method measures the size of the fault on the rail surface. In this study, FPGA based condition monitoring device was developed. An architecture has been developed for implementing the proposed method with FPGA. This work using FPGA technology is low cost and fast compared to other methods. The proposed method is quite advantageous because of its realtime operation.

“…This system consumes as low as 6.76% and 3.28% of energy compared to CPU and GPU-based designs respectively. In the literature, many other articles can be found, such as [28][29][30], describing the usage of FPGAs to support image processing, in real time. The execution times and/or the energy consumption, may justify the use of FPGAs to implement terrain classification and feature extraction algorithms.…”

Static and Dynamic Algorithms for Terrain Classification in UAV Aerial Imagery

The ability to precisely classify different types of terrain is extremely important for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). There are multiple situations in which terrain classification is fundamental for achieving a UAV's mission success, such as emergency landing, aerial mapping, decision making, and cooperation between UAVs in autonomous navigation. Previous research works describe different terrain classification approaches mainly using static features from RGB images taken onboard UAVs. In these works, the terrain is classified from each image taken as a whole, not divided into blocks; this approach has an obvious drawback when applied to images with multiple terrain types. This paper proposes a robust computer vision system to classify terrain types using three main algorithms, which extract features from UAV's downwash effect: Static textures-Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Gray-Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM) and Dynamic textures-Optical Flow method. This system has been fully implemented using the OpenCV library, and the GLCM algorithm has also been partially specified in a Hardware Description Language (VHDL) and implemented in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based platform. In addition to these feature extraction algorithms, a neural network was designed with the aim of classifying the terrain into one of four classes. Lastly, in order to store and access all the classified terrain information, a dynamic map, with this information was generated. The system was validated using videos acquired onboard a UAV with an RGB camera.Several methods for terrain classification have been proposed in different works. Texture algorithms, such as those proposed in [2][3][4][5], have been widely recommended to emphasize the high and low frequencies of the images, supporting image classification. Other algorithms use color information to classify terrains, such as presented in [6], which is able to distinguish four different terrain types within an image. During this process, each channel's pixel is divided by the square root of its own three channels intensity. The final result will emphasize the color that most represents the terrain type (eg, blue for water). Additionally, frequency domain [7,8], segmentation [6,9,10], bayesian network [11], and Hyperspectal Images [12] can also be used in terrain classification.Other types of sensors such as LiDAR [13][14][15][16] can complement the classification decision. Algorithms that use laser scanners proved to be qualified to accurately distinguish between water and non-water terrains [13][14][15][16]. However, shallow water terrains increase the decision error due to laser reflection, which leads to a misclassification as non-water terrain.Although prior research work has proposed many good solutions for terrain classification, there is still a gap regarding the study of dynamic terrain. The previously mentioned algorithms suffer from a high sensitivity to changes in the environment, mainly due to changes in brightness, color and texture. Recent works [17,18] ...
