Abstract

In digital image processing image edge detection, enhancement and extraction have very important role. There are many methods and systems, already accepted very widely, which show the above operations with their own advantages and limitations. Here in this paper we propose a completely new scheme of getting the edge of any digital image by proper use of optical non-linear material. Some intensity modulated switching behaviors of optical non-linear materials are also coped up in this method. Here we can obtain the required image edges as necessary. Images with variation of transparencies are used here suitably.
