Abstract: Abstract Edge detection is the front-end processing stage in most computer vision and image understanding systems. Among various edge detection techniques, Canny edge detector is the one of most commonly used. In this paper a modified Canny edge detection technique focusing on change of the Sobel operator is proposed. Instead of convolution kernels, the weighted least squares method is utilized to calculate the horizontal and vertical gradient. Experimental results show that the new detector can detect some edges which are not observed in the results using the Canny edge detector.
