TLDR
An approach to edge and corner detection based on fuzzy logic is presented that is less sensitive to noise without causing edge displacement and an attempt is made to extend the proposed approach to the detection of colour edges.
Abstract
Localization of edges and corner points by fuzzy detectors in images is the main concern of this paper. This paper presents an approach to edge and corner detection based on fuzzy logic. In this approach SUSAN mask is employed to compute USAN area. The histogram of USAN area permits us construct type 1 and type 2 fuzzy membership functions by fuzzifying USAN area computed about every pixel in an image. The edge map of the image is obtained using adaptive thresholding. An attempt is made to extend the proposed approach to the detection of colour edges. Experiments show that this approach is less sensitive to noise without causing edge displacement.

An Optimal Fuzzy System for Edge Detection in Color Images Using Bacterial Foraging Algorithm

TL;DR: This paper presents a fuzzy system for edge detection, using smallest univalue segment assimilating nucleus (USAN) principle and bacterial foraging algorithm (BFA) and a parametric fuzzy intensification operator (FINT) to enhance the weak edge information, which results in another fuzzy set.

A Computational Approach to Edge Detection

TL;DR: There is a natural uncertainty principle between detection and localization performance, which are the two main goals, and with this principle a single operator shape is derived which is optimal at any scale.

A Combined Corner and Edge Detector

TL;DR: The problem the authors are addressing in Alvey Project MMI149 is that of using computer vision to understand the unconstrained 3D world, in which the viewed scenes will in general contain too wide a diversity of objects for topdown recognition techniques to work.
