image_edge


image_edge, a C++ code which demonstrates the detection of edges in an image.

NEWS is a particularly simple edge detection scheme, which compares the North, East, West, and South neighbors of a pixel to determine if the pixel lies along an edge.

There are many sophisticated edge detection algorithms, and MATLAB has many of them built into its image processing toolbox. The purpose of these examples is simply to demonstrate how a simple version of such edge detection schemes works.
