In this paper a method has been developed for automatic edge detection of an digital image. An edge is made up of those pixels at which there is an abrupt change in the intensity. These pixels are known as edge pixels and are connected to give an edge. In this paper we have developed a mamdanis fuzzy inference system in MATLAB 2008 using fuzzy logic tool box. A smallest possible 2X2 window is used as a scanning mask. Mask slides over the whole image pixel by pixel, first horizontally in topmost horizontal line then after reaching at the end of line, it increments to check the next vertical location and it continues till the whole image is scanned. The FIS built has 4 inputs, each input representing a pixel for 2X2 mask, and 1 output that represents pixel under consideration. The rule editor consists of sixteen fuzzy rules. The results thus obtained are compared with Sobel edge operator and Canny edge operator.
