Abstract
Edge detection refers to the process of identifying and locating sharp discontinuities in an image. Edge detection process significantly reduces the amount of data and filters out useless information, while preserving the essential structural properties in an image. Since computer vision involves the recognition and classification of objects in an image, edge detection is a vital tool. In this paper, the main aim is to study edge detection process based on different techniques and implement Canny’s edge detection technique . Edge detection is basically image segmentation technique, divides spatial domain, on which the image is defined, into meaningful parts or regions. Edges characterize boundaries and are therefore a problem of fundamental importance in image processing. Here we have compared the output efficiency of the designed canny edge algorithm, with other algorithms.
