Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new approach for edge detection in gray shaded images. The proposed ap- proach is based on the fuzzy number theory . The idea is to deal with the uncertainties concerning the gray shades mak- ing up the image, and thus calculate the appropriateness of the pixels in relation to an homogeneous region around them. The pixels not belonging to the region are then clas- sified as border pixels. The results have shown that the technique is simple, com- putationally efficient and with good results when compared with both the traditional border detectors and the fuzzy edge detectors.
