AbstractIn the present paper, new method called (A.H. SH..Rostom Group masks) for Mycosis Fungoides Skin image Edge detection is proposed. The Group consists of 10 masks were geometry of the mask operator determines a characteristic direction in which i t is most sensitive to edges. applied to the four stages of the Mycosis Fungoides disease Skin image have been identified and the edges of the images used for each and every stages that the database consists of 40 images divided each stage of the Mycosis Fungoides dis ease Skin image 10 images. For each stage a novel algorithm which combines pixel and regi on based color segmentation techniques is used. The experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed A.H. SH.Rostom Group masks .

1 INTRODUCTION

Edge detection is an important field in image processing. It can be used in many applications such as segmentation,

registration, feature extraction, and identification of objects in a scene. An effective edge detector reduces a large amount of data but still keeps most of the important feature of the image. Edge detection refers to the process of locating sharp disconti- nuities in an image. These discontinuities originate from dif- ferent scene features such as discontinuities in depth, discon- tinuities in surface orientation, and changes in material prop- erties and variations in scene illumination[1,2].
The boundaries of object surfaces in a scene often lead to oriented localized changes in intensity of an image, called edges. This observation combined with a commonly held be- lief that edge detection is the first step in image segmentation, has fueled a long search for a good edge detection algorithm to use in image processing [3]. Edge detection of an image re- duces significantly the amount of data and filters out informa- tion that may be regarded as less relevant, preserving the im- portant structural properties of an image. Therefore, edges detected from its original image contain major information, which only needs a small amount of memory to store[4].
Edge detection produces something like a line drawing of an
image, which highlights the intensity changes. In general, the
boundaries of objects tend to produce sudden changes in the
image intensity[5]. different surfaces of an object receive dif-
ferent amounts of light, which again produces intensity
changes[6]. Edges are effected by noise present in an image
though .An edge may be regarded as boundary between two
dissimilar regions in an image .edge detection is a terminology
in image processing and computer vision , particularly in
areas of feature detection and feature extraction[7].
The paper is organized as follows; Section 2 deals with the
A.H. SH.Rostom Group masks are considered to determine
the Mycosis Fungoides Skin image area. Section 3 deals with the Edge Operations i.e opening to perform the connected component analysis, section 4 gives the overview of algorithm with Experimental Results and last section 5 ends the paper with conclusion

2 A.H. SH.ROSTOM GROUP MASKS

A human skin color model is used to decide either a pixel is skin color or non skin-color[5]. In this research, we use mew method called(A.H. SH.Rostom Group masks ) Mycosis Fun- goides Skin image edge detection . A.H. SH Rostom Group masks consists of 10 masks determines a characteristic direc- tion edge.

4 CONCLUSION


new method called (A.H. SH.Rostom Group masks) for Myco- sis Fungoides Skin image edge detector presented in this pa- per uses ten masks determines a characteristic direction in which it is most sensitive to edges . The proposed method is decrease the computation time with generate high quality of edge detection. Experiment results have demonstrated that the proposed scheme for edge detection works satisfactorily for different levels digital images. Another benefit comes from easy implementation of this method. A.H. SH.Rostom Group masks for Mycosis Fungoides Skin image Edge detection is necessary to provide a robust solution that is adaptable to the varying noise levels of these images to help distinguish valid image contents from visual artifacts introduced by noise. The experimental results show the satisfying subjective test results and The simulation results are very promising.

3 EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

In this section a detailed experimental comparison of the above stated A.H. SH.Rostom Group masks has been presented. We have used two types Mycosis Fungoides Skin image databases:

(1) database prepared in our conditions ,images obtained from in

Al-Sder Hospital.

(2) Skin database [4] and some other images obtained from in- ternet.

Mycosis fungoides is a T-cell lymphoma of the skin. The disease is caused by the proliferation of T-lymphocytes, also known as helper T cells[8].

In this paper divided stages images as

Stages in mycosis fungoides(10 images for each stage) Stage 1

The cancer only affects parts of the skin, which has red, dry, scaly

patches, but no

tumours. The lymph nodes are not larger than normal. Stage 2

Either of the following may be true:

• The skin has red, dry, scaly patches, but no tumours. Lymph

nodes are larger than

normal, but do not contain cancer cells;

• There are tumours on the skin. The lymph nodes are either

normal or are larger than

normal, but do not contain cancer cells. Stage 3

• Nearly all of the skin is red, dry, and scaly. The lymph nodes are either normal or are larger than normal, but do not contain can- cer cells.

Table (1) shown the comparison for A.H. SH Rostom Group masks for Mycosis Fungoides Skin image Edge detection. Edge detection are computationally more expensive compared to M1, M2, M4, M5, M7 and M8 masks. However, the M10 edge detection algorithm performs better than all these opera- tors under almost all scenarios. Evaluation of the images showed that under noisy conditions, M10, M9, M6 and M3 exhibit better performance, respectively.
