Abstract

Image enhancement applications are highly dependent on the efficiency of edge detection techniques. This paper presents a new method, which combines the random search mechanisms of Genetic Algorithms with linear time methods. The GA establishes candidate areas as edge containers. Such areas are then investigated by using near-neighbor linear techniques for edge identification and detection. The resulting edge detection process approaches linear time complexity as demonstrated in the experiments.
