What is Edge Detection

Edge detection is a collection of mathematical techniques that are aimed at recognizing edges, which are defined as curves in a digital image at which the brightness of the image changes abruptly or, more formally, contains discontinuities. The difficulty of discovering discontinuities in one-dimensional signals is referred to as step detection, and the problem of finding signal discontinuities over time is referred to as change detection. Both of these techniques are used to find discontinuities in signals. The method of edge detection is an essential tool in the fields of image processing, machine vision, and computer vision, notably in the areas of feature detection and feature extraction.
