Vector Order Statistics Operators As Edge Detectors of Objects in Noised Colour Images

The paper offers review of most effective methods of detecting edges in noised colour images. Presented has been effectiveness of vector order operators and vector difference operators, as well as variants thereof enriched with filters of different types. Detectors gained in this way are complicated to different degrees from the viewpoint of computations, and resistant to impulsive and Gaussian noises. In the case of DV operators, addition of filtering elements significantly increases resistance thereof to the presence of noise. Best effects of edge extraction in noised images have been gained using the DV_α-trim operator.
