A Novel Approach for Edge Detection of Images

Edge detection is a problem of fundamental importance in image analysis. Many approaches for edge detection have already revealed more are waiting to be. But edge detection using K-means algorithm is the most heuristic and unique approach. In this paper, we have proposed an algorithmic technique to detect the edge of any kind of true gray scale images considering the artificial features of the image as the feature set which is fed to K-Means algorithm for clustering the image and there to detect clearly the edges of the objects present in the considered image. The artificial features, which we have considered here, are mean, standard deviation, entropy and busyness of pixel intensity values.
