How many directions are there in the Non Maximum Suppression part of the Canny Edge Detector
In the Non-maximum suppression algorithm, each pixel has a total of 4 directions since there are 8 neighboring pixels. But why there is not 8 directions instead, please? I see below there are 8 ...

Numerical optimization method for optimal edge detector
John Canny, in his paper "A Computational Approach to Edge Detection" (PDF), finds the expression of an optimal edge detector by first using an analytical approach (Euler-Lagrange equation). ...

Getting rid of Canny outliers
I have been using the Canny edge detection function in OpenCV to detect the edge of an elliptic annulus (light object, dark background). In theory there should be two edges. However, it sometimes does ...

What's the best technique to determine if the contents of two images are the same?
I need to run comparisons on the output of hundreds of frames of simple 3D-rendered characters. Perceptually, many of the frames are exact duplicates. Based on this, I assumed something like a ...

Why Is the Canny Edge Detection Used Instead of Sobel / Prewitt Edge Detection Before Hough Transformation?
I know that for the Hough Transform to work on an image, it needs to be a binary image. To convert from a grayscale image, an edge detection algorithm should be employed. I notice that people always ...

Influence of image size to edge detection in OpenCV
I need to scan an image in OpenCV and obtain the lines. For this I use the canny edge detector and then the propabilistic Hough transform, with which I actually get the lines.
The problem now is that ...

Is the Canny algorithm enough for creating a feature descriptor image for input to an SVM?
I retrieve contours from images by using the Canny algorithm.
Is this enough preprocessing to have a descriptor image for input into an SVM to find similarities?
Do I need other features like ...
