Edge Detection

Computer vision requires classification and identification of different objects in

an image. Segmentation is the technique that identifies regions within an image, where
edge detection is a part of segmentation. Edge detection is one of the most if not
commonly used operation in image analysis. From the word itself, edge detection is
edges in an image are identified accurately to separate objects from the background
which is the purpose of image processing. It is the process of locating the edge pixels,
and edge enhancement increases contrast between the target image and background so
that we can classify the object. Therefore it is an essential tool for image processing.
