1. INTRODUCTION
Edge detection is the process of identifying and
locating the discontinuities present in an image. The
discontinuities are the immediate changes in pixel
intensity which characterize boundaries of objects in a
image. Edge detection is one of the most commonly
used operations in image analysis, and there are many
algorithms in the literature for enhancing and
detecting the edges. An edge is the boundary between
an object and the background, and indicates the
boundary between overlapping objects. Edge
detection is a very important area in the field of
Computer Vision.
Edges define the boundaries between the regions in an
image, which helps with segmentation and object
recognition. An edge detector accepts a digital image
as input and produces an edge map as output. The
edge map of some detectors includes the information
regarding the position and strength of the edges and
their orientation. The quality of edge detection is
highly dependent on lighting conditions, the presence
of objects with the similar intensities, density of edges
in the image, and noise. There are many ways to
perform edge detection. The majority of the methods
may be grouped into two categories: Gradient: The
gradient method detects the edges by looking for the
maximum and minimum in the first derivative of the
image. Laplacian:: The Laplacian method searches for
zero crossings in the second derivative of the image to
find edges. The edge representation of an image
drastically reduces the amount of data to be
processed, but still it retains the important information
about the shapes
pes of objects. This description of an
image is easy to integrate into a large number of
object recognition algorithms used in computer vision
and other image processing applications. An
important property of the edge detection method is its
ability to extract
ract the accurate edge line with good
orientation.
An image may be defined as a two-dimensional
two
function, where x and y are spatial (plane)

available in Image Processing: Analog image
processing and Digital image processing. Analog
Image Processing refers to the alteration of image
through electrical means. The most common example
is the television image. The television signal is a
voltage level which varies in amplitude to represent
brightness through the image. In digital image
processing digital computers are used to process the
image. It is defined as the subjecting numerical
representation of objects to a series of operations in
order to obtain a desired result. A digital image is an Fig1: Classification of Edge Detection Techniques

which is also well known as an optimal edge
detector is one of the most efficient and
successful edge detection methods. It operates on
the gray-scale version of the image under
consideration. He considered three criteria
desired for any edge detector:
 Good detection: The algorithm should
mark as many real edges as possible in the
image.
 Good localization: Edges marked should
be as close as possible to the edges in the
real image.
