LINE DETECTION

AIM:
To perform the line detection on the given medical images.

OBJECTIVES:
To perform line detection on the given medical image, with the following steps:
• Convert the image to grayscale.
• Apply a line detection masks such as horizontal, vertical, diagonal
kernels to identify corresponding lines in the given medical image.

THEORY:
• Line detection in image processing involves identifying and extracting linear features
or patterns from digital images.
• The Laplacian operator is applied to the preprocessed image. It calculates the second
derivative of the intensity values concerning x and y directions.

• Once the Laplacian image is obtained, a thresholding step is applied to identify


regions of significant intensity change.
• Pixels with intensity values above a certain threshold are the potential edges or lines.
• The line is detected where the Kernel corresponds to the change in intensities in
different directions. (Horizontal, Vertical and Diagonal).
PROGRAM:

%Import the image and convert to grayscale


clear all
close all
clc

Img1 = imread("Brain_1.jpg");
figure;
subplot(321);
imshow(Img1);
title("Original Image");

Img2 = im2gray(Img1);
subplot(322);
imshow(Img2);
title("Grayscale of Original Image");

%Define the filtering window and filter


w1 = [-1,-1,-1;2,2,2;-1,-1,-1];
Img3 = imfilter(Img1,w1);
subplot(323);
imshow(Img3);
title("Horizontal Line Detection");

w2 = [-1,2,-1;-1,2,-1;-1,2,-1];
Img4 = imfilter(Img1,w2);
subplot(324);
imshow(Img4);
title("Vertical Line Detection");

w3 = [-1,-1,2;-1,2,-1;2,-1,-1];
Img5 = imfilter(Img1,w3);
subplot(325);
imshow(Img5);
title("+45 Line Detection");

w4 = [2,-1,-1;-1,2,-1;-1,-1,2];
Img5 = imfilter(Img1,w4);
subplot(326);
imshow(Img5);
title("-45 Line Detection");
OUTPUT:

INFERENCE:

• Line detection in image processing involves identifying linear features using


various kernels.
• Vertical kernel is used to highlight the vertical lines present in the images by
adjusting the threshold.
• Horizontal kernel is used to highlight the horizontal lines present in the images
by adjusting the threshold.
• Diagonal kernel is used to highlight the diagonal lines (45° and -45°) present in
the images by adjusting the threshold.
RESULT:

Line detection was implemented on the given medical image and corresponding resultant
images were analysed.
