An edge may be defined as a set of connected pixels that forms a boundary between two disjoints regions.Edge detection is basically, a method of segmenting an image into regions of discontinuity. Edge detectionplays an important role in digital image processing and practical aspects of our life. .In this paper westudied various edge detection techniques as Prewitt, Robert, Sobel, Marr Hildrith and Canny operators.On comparing them we can see that canny edge detector performs better than all other edge detectors onvarious aspects such as it is adaptive in nature, performs better for noisy image, gives sharp edges , lowprobability of detecting false edges etc
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
