Introduction to Edge Detection

Edge detection is the process of finding sharp contrasts in intensities in an image. This process significantly reduces the amount of data in the image, while preserving the most important structural features of that image. Canny Edge Detection is considered to be the ideal edge detection algorithm for images that are corrupted with white noise. For a more in depth introduction, see the Canny Edge Detection Tutorial.
