====== Edge Detection ======

**Edge Detection by Canny-Deriche filtering**

===== Description =====

This plugin performs a Canny-Deriche filtering for edge detection. A parameter controls the degree of smoothing applied; the default value is 1.0, greater values imply less smoothing but more accurate detection, lower values imply more smoothing but less accurate detection. A non-maximal suppression is then performed to get thin edges. The angle of the edges can also be displayed. 


A double thresholding by hysteresis is also included but can be found separately [[:plugin:segmentation:hysteresis_thresholding:start|here]].

It has been written originaly by Thomas Boudier and then repackaged by Joris Meys.
