This module will describe the use of the “Edge Detection” Simulink® Block, to generate real-time DSP code for image and video processing.

Introduction

This chapter will describe the use of the “Edge Detection” Simulink® Block, both for stills images and video files.

The edge detection block

The "Edge Detection" block from the "Analysis&Enhancement" group of the Video and Image Processing Blockset (Please refer to Figure 1).

The Edge Detection Block

This block will enable you to simulate the edge detection procedure in the input image using the Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, or Canny methods.

If the selected method is Sobel, Prewitt, or Roberts, the Edge Detection block finds the edges in an input image by approximating the gradient magnitude of the image. The block convolves the input matrix with the Sobel, Prewitt, or Roberts kernel. The block output can be either the result of this convolution operation (two gradient components of the image) or a binary image, obtained by comparing the convolution result against a threshold. If a pixel value is ‘1’, in this binary image it is an edge. Please refer to Figure 2

The Edge Detection Block Configuration Window for Sobel, Prewitt and Roberts Methods

If the selected method is Canny, the Edge Detection block finds edges by looking for the local maxima of the gradient of the input image. It calculates the gradient using the derivative of the Gaussian filter. The Canny method uses two thresholds to detect strong and weak edges. Please refer to Figure 3.

Image (stills) processing

Simulation

  1. Open the “ stills_R_W.mdl ” Simulink model (generated in the " A Framework for Image Processing with the DSK6416 " module).
  2. Add the "Edge Detection" block from the "Analysis&Enhancement" group of the Video and Image Processing Blockset (Please refer to section ).
  3. Connect the various blocks as shown in Figure 4. Save your model.

In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

What is different between quantity demand and demand?
Shukri Reply
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

Economic growth as an increase in the production and consumption of goods and services within an economy.but Economic development as a broader concept that encompasses not only economic growth but also social & human well being.
