Evaluation of Canny and Otsu Image Segmentation

The paper presents two techniques of image segmentation to facilitate image edge detection, that can be used further by image analysis based on the extracted features of image edges, Canny edge detection and Otsu thresholding are examples of the proposed techniques, the paper evaluates the effectiveness of the two methods with a variety of images, testing their suitability to natural as well as medical images. Keywords—Image segmentation, Canny edge detection,Otsu thresholding
