Edge detection techniques using fuzzy thresholding

Edge detection is forefront of image processing algorithms. There are problems associated with different edge detectors. Thresholding is critical problem in edge detection. The paper represents three different methods of fuzzy based thresholding and resulted adaptive threshold is used in edge detection algorithm. Simulation results shows fuzzy thresholding based edge detection gives better results than conventional methods.
