An improvement in fuzzy entropy edge detection for X-ray imaging

Abstract

The following paper discusses the topic of edge detection in X-ray hand images. It criticises the existing solution by highlighting a design fault, which is a carelessly chosen function and then proposes a way to eliminate the fault by replacing it with a better suited function. The search for this function and its results are also discussed in this paper. It also presents the aspect of pre- and postprocessing through filtering as another improvement in edge detection.
