Abstract
In this paper a novel edge detection method has been proposed which outperform Otsu method [1]. The proposed detection algorithm has been devised using the concept of genetic algorithm in spatial domain. The key of edge detection is the choice of threshold; which determines the results of edge detection. GA has been used to determine an optimal threshold over the image. Results are compared with existing Otsu technique which shows better performances.
