image processing edge edge detection

how can Apply edge detection to the original RGB image using the "Canny edge Operator"

[Ameer Hamza]

What do you mean by "detection to the original RGB image"? Do you want to convert it without converting to grayscale?

[Mohammad abu aqoulah]

yes by spliting to R G and B after that converting to canny

[Mohammad abu aqoulah]

i mean

i want to convert RGB image to R , G and B

after that convert R to canny edge

after that convert G to canny edge

after that convert B to canny edge

after that sum three pic

[Mohammad abu aqoulah]

that mean

i have image i want firstly split this image into R , G and B and show 3 images red , green and blue images

secondly apply edge canny in each 3 colore image

canny edge detection on green image (g_d)

canny edge detection on blue image (b_d)

canny edge detection on red image (r_d)

after that add (g_d)+(b_d)+(r_d) to have colore canny detection

Did you try edge():

rgbImage = imread('peppers.png');
subplot(1,2,1);
imshow(rgbImage);
grayImage = rgb2gray(rgbImage);
subplot(1,2,2);
edgeImage = edge(grayImage, 'Canny');
imshow(edgeImage, []);

Or you could do it on each color channel separately if you want.

[Mohammad abu aqoulah]

can i do this to color image by spliting to R G and B after that converting to canny and sum 3 pic

[Mohammad abu aqoulah]

i mean

i want to convert RGB image to R , G and B

after that convert R to canny edge

after that convert G to canny edge

after that convert B to canny edge

after that sum three pic

[Image Analyst]

Yes, you can. Just use imsplit()

[R, G, B] = imsplit(RGB);

Then do the obvious things. You did not ask a question but I assume you want to know how, rather than jsut telling me what you want.

rgbImage = imread('peppers.png');
subplot(2,2,1);
imshow(rgbImage);
[R, G, B] = imsplit(RGB);
subplot(2,2,2);
edgeImageR = edge(R, 'Canny');
imshow(edgeImageR, []);
title('Edge Image of Red', 'FontSize', 15)
subplot(2,2,3);
edgeImageG = edge(G, 'Canny');
imshow(edgeImageG, []);
title('Edge Image of Green', 'FontSize', 15)
subplot(2,2,4);
edgeImageB = edge(B, 'Canny');
imshow(edgeImageB, []);
title('Edge Image of Blue', 'FontSize', 15)

[Image Analyst]

Then you should be happy with my solution and click "Accept this answer" because that's what it does, except for the addition part but that's super trivial.

theSum = double(g_d) + double(b_d) + double(r_d);

when i run your solution image show with gray scale this is my problem

[Image Analyst]

What are you expecting? Each color channel is a gray scale, monochrome image. If you take just one color channel, like the red channel, why do you think it should not be grayscale? Do you think it should have full, true color? With green and blue also? Of course not. You extracted only the red so there will be no green or blue pixels. There can be no color info at all, just a monochrome image with one value per pixel - the intensity of the red signal at that pixel. Please explain why you think there should still be color, or else explain what "my problem" is when you say "image show with gray scale this is my problem" because I do not see that as a problem because you said you "want firstly split this image into R , G and B". Why did you want to split the color image into 3 monochrome matrices (one per color channel) if it's going to be a problem? What would NOT be a problem for you?

[Mohammad abu aqoulah]

the problem is

when i spilt the image into 3 image i mean each image has 1 color and i need the canny edge detection in this color as the folowing

[Ameer Hamza]

Mohammad, you can try this modified version of Image Analyst's code.

rgbImage = imread('peppers.png');

subplot(2,2,1);
imshow(rgbImage);
[R, G, B] = imsplit(rgbImage);

subplot(2,2,2);
edgeImageR = edge(R, 'Canny');
R(edgeImageR) = 255;
Rimage = zeros(size(rgbImage), 'uint8');
Rimage(:,:,1) = R;
imshow(Rimage, []);

subplot(2,2,3);
edgeImageG = edge(G, 'Canny');
G(edgeImageR) = 255;
Gimage = zeros(size(rgbImage), 'uint8');
Gimage(:,:,2) = G;
imshow(Gimage, []);

subplot(2,2,4);
edgeImageB = edge(B, 'Canny');
B(edgeImageR) = 255;
Bimage = zeros(size(rgbImage), 'uint8');
Bimage(:,:,3) = B;
imshow(Bimage, []);
