ABSTRACT
Edge detection is a fundamental technique that precedes and enables feature understanding in image analysis. It is a very important technique in computer vision. Wavelets, Sobel operators, and Gabor filters have been used extensively in the literature for edge detection in images. Each of these filters has their strengths and limitations. This paper suggests edge detection in images using a combination of Gabor filters, Laplacian filter and Sobel operators which produce better results than using the individual filters.
