A segmentation process is usually required in order to analyze an image. One of the available segmentation approaches is by detecting the edges on the image. Up to now, there are many edge detection algorithms that researchers have proposed. Thus, the purpose of this systematic literature review is to investigate the available quality assessment methods that researchers have utilized to evaluate the performance of the edge detection algorithms. Due to the vast number of available literature in this area, we limit our search to only open-access publications. A systematic search in five publisher websites (i.e., IEEExplore, IET digital library, Wiley, MDPI, and Hindawi) and Scopus database was carried out to gather resources that are related to the edge detection algorithms. Seventy-three publications that are about developing or comparing edge detection algorithms have been chosen. From these publication samples, we have identified 17 quality assessment methods used by researchers. Among the popular quality assessment methods are visual inspection, processing time, confusion-matrix based measures, mean square error (MSE)-based measures, and figure of merit (FOM). This survey also indicates that although most of the researchers only use a small number of test images (i.e., less than 10 test images), there are available datasets with a larger number of images for digital image segmentation that researchers can utilize.
