SECOND ORDER EDGE OPERATOR

CANNY OPERATOR

Take second derivative in direction of gradient (Ix,Iy).

Look for ‘Zero-Crossing’ of second derivative in this

direction.

Can also threshold with respect to first order edge strength.

Direction of first order gradient (Ix,Iy) gives edge orientation.

Proved to have optimal localization properties.
