Edge detection (also called “boundary detection”) is a fundamental problem in image processing. The ability to accurately detect visible “edges” in an image has many applications – ranging from missile targeting to OCR to cool Photoshop effects. In this project I’ve compiled 6 well-known edge detection algorithms (along with two of my own).
For those who have never used edge detection algorithms before, here are examples of various outputs:

Cool, we did edge detection on FPGA and C program, VB6 hmmm
