Abstract

Noadays, X-ray images play vital role in the field of medicine. The edge feature extraction technique which helps medical practitioners to detect the minute factures as it may not be possible by the necked eye. The edge feature extraction methods deals with detection of edges of an image. There are several wavelet-based methods to extract the features of an edge. The conventional Gabor Wavelet is a complex wavelet which is extensively used for edge feature extraction. This conventional Gabor wavelet may not be useful for real-time applications due to high-computational complexity. So simplified Gabor wavelet transform is used instead of conventional Gabor wavelet. It is a very efficient technique to detect location and orientation of edges. The proposed simplified Gabor wavelet transform performs well for the edge feature extraction in comparison with conventional Gabor wavelet, orthogonal and biorthogonal wavelets.
