Automatic thresholding in edge detection using fuzzy approach

Edge detection is important step in image processing. In spite of two decade of research the need for general purpose edge detector is still felt. Threshold decision is the key uncertainty in the edge detection algorithms. Soft computing approach represents a good mathematical framework to deal with uncertainty of information. In this work, we used fuzzy logic for automatic thresholding and generated threshold is used with Sobel methods for edge detection. Empirical performance study shows the efficacy of automatic threshold method.
