Abstract
Edge detection is a process usually applied to image sets before the training phase in recognition systems. This preprocessing step helps to extract the most important shapes in an image, ignoring the homogeneous regions and remarking the real objective to classify or recognize. Many traditional and fuzzy edge detectors can be used, but it’s very difficult to demonstrate which one is better before the recognition results. In this work we present an experiment where several edge detectors were used to preprocess the same image sets. Each resultant image set was used as training data for neural network recognition system, and the recognition rates were compared. The goal of this experiment is to find the better edge detector that can be used as training data on a neural network for image recognition.
