Edge detection is a fundamental step in image processing that involves identifying boundaries within an image. It plays a crucial role in computer vision, object detection, and various other applications. In this tutorial, we'll explore how to perform edge detection using Python with the help of the OpenCV library.
Before you start, make sure you have Python installed on your system. Additionally, you need to install the OpenCV library. You can install it using the following command:
Edge detection algorithms aim to identify regions in an image where there is a significant change in intensity or color. One of the commonly used methods is the Canny edge detector, which is available in OpenCV.
Let's create a simple Python script to perform edge detection on an image using the Canny edge detector.
Make sure to replace "path/to/your/image.jpg" with the actual path to the image you want to process.
Save the script with a .py extension and run it using the following command:
The script will display the original image and the result of the edge detection process using the Canny edge detector.
Feel free to experiment with different images and adjust the threshold values to observe how they impact the edge detection results.
This concludes our tutorial on edge detection in image processing using Python and OpenCV.
