Abstract: Edge detection consists of a set of mathematical methods which identifies the points in a digital image where image brightness changes sharply. In the traditional edge detection methods such as the first‐order derivative filters, it is easy to lose image information details and the second‐order derivative filters are more sensitive to noise. To overcome these problems, the methods based on the fractional differential‐order filters have been proposed in the literature. This paper presents the construction and implementation of the Prewitt fractional differential filter in the Asumu definition sense for SARS‐COV2 image edge detection. The experiments show that these filters can avoid noise and detect rich edge details. The experimental comparison show that the proposed method outperforms some edge detection methods. In the next paper, we are planning to improve and combine the proposed filters with artificial intelligence algorithm in order to program a training system for SARS‐COV2 image classification with the aim of having a supplemental medical diagnostic.
