Abstract

The edge detection on the images is so important for image processing. There are different methods for
improving edge detection. Here, it is shown that edge detection can be realized using artificial neural network (ANN)
with noise. Supervised learning method with momentum is used. Laplacian edge detector is a teacher of artificial neural
network. In this study, it is shown that any classical method can be used for training of ANN as edge detector.
