Efficient Edge Detection Method by Using Focus of Attention Area

Edge detection is the foundation of many computer vision systems. Because of its highly repetitive and computational intensive nature there have been many research efforts to find ways to improve both speed and quality of edge maps. This paper describes a method of edge segmentation based on the composition of the Split and Merge method and the Canny edge operator. In order to speed-up the computationally intensive Canny operator, the proposed method is based on preliminary region segmentation and finding a focus of attention area.The proposed method has been tested on non-textural images of the blosks world scenes, toy images and images of out-door scenes. the experimental results are given.
