picture info	Canny Edge Detector The Canny edge detector is an edge detection operator that uses a multi-stage algorithm to detect a wide range of edges in images. It was developed by John F. Canny in 1986. Canny also produced a ''computational theory of edge detection'' explaining why the technique works. Development Canny edge detection is a technique to extract useful structural information from different vision objects and dramatically reduce the amount of data to be processed. It has been widely applied in various computer vision systems. Canny has found that the requirements for the application of edge detection on diverse vision systems are relatively similar. Thus, an edge detection solution to address these requirements can be implemented in a wide range of situations. The general criteria for edge detection include: # Detection of edge with low error rate, which means that the detection should accurately catch as many edges shown in the image as possible # The edge point detected from the operator sh ...
