3D edge detection of medical images using mathematical morphological and cellular logic array processing techniques

This paper introduces a novel algorithm called cellular logic array processing for extracting volumetric edges from 3D medical images. A sample MRI image of a human skull is used as a test data for analysis purposes. A comparative study of the algorithm introduced in this paper with existing morphological algorithms has been made and results reported here. In addition, a modified morphological filter based 3D edge detecting algorithm has also been introduced in this paper.
