Abstract An edge detection method based on rough fuzzy set is presented which combines advantages of rough sets that can handle vagueness and C-Set that can provide multi-granularity. An edge expression is proposed by the definition of rough operation and operation. Granularity w and structure similarity ε are introduced for better edge detection. The experimental results show that the image edge detection algorithm performs well.
