Edge detection is an essential computer vision phenomenon that is useful for contour detection and in turn it is useful for acquiring vital information. There are a variety of images, including medical, satellite, industrial and general-purpose images. An X-ray is a form of medical imaging that is created by transmitting electronic radiation into a patient's body to get an image of the human body's internal structures. This allows orthopedic surgeons and radiologists to make more accurate diagnoses of illness. Due to its versatility, soft computing approaches are regarded as effective edge detection tools. This study provides a novel fuzzy logic-based technique for edge detection in which the quality of edges is governed by a sharpening-guided filter. The proposed model holds four different patterns for extracting the edges from an image namely 2 × 2 mask, 3 × 2 mask, 2 × 3 mask and 3 × 3 mask. These patterns of masks target the edge pixels of an image along with the other pixels. The proposed model provides an enhanced approach for detecting edges in X-ray pictures of humans. Various statistical measurements are used to evaluate the proposed model to prove its significance. By adjusting the smoothing parameters appropriately, it has been discovered that the detected edges are significantly enhanced. The proposed model is implemented and evaluated under four different metrics namely Correlation Coefficient, Figure of Merit, Structure Similarity Image Metrics and Euclidian Distance. The proposed model results are compared five different state-of-the-art algorithms to prove the significance, and the result shows that the proposed model identifies the edge in a well-structured manner.
