    Abstract

    Image segmentation is an important process in computer vision. Recently fuzzy logic based edge detection is heavily investigated as by changing the number of rules edge detection can be improved. However, due to large colour variations in the images false edges are detected and even using fuzzy rules they cannot be reduced significantly. These falsely detected edges can be controlled by using smoothen filter while controlling the degree of smoothness. This paper, presents fuzzy logic based edge detection mechanism while using Guided L0 smoothen filter for the smoothening of image under various degree of smoothens. Simulation results for edge detection is presented for Canny, Sobel, Fuzzy logic based edge detection and finally fuzzy logic edge detection with inclusion of L0 smoothen filter. The results are compared with classical and modern methods. Simulation is performed on Berkley Segmentation Database (BSD) and USC-SIPI Image Database while considering more than 100 images. The obtained F-measure is as high as 0.848.
