- In Chapter 6, Filtering the Images, we learned how it is possible to detect the edges of an image. In particular, we showed you that by applying a threshold on the gradient magnitude, a binary map of the main edges of an image can be obtained.
- The classic article by J. Canny, A Computational Approach to Edge Detection, IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Image Understanding, Vol. 18, Issue 6, 1986.
We've successfully learned how to detect image contours with the Canny operator. Now, let's move on to the next recipe!
