<ul><li>This analytical exploration uses MATLAB and its Image Processing Toolbox to implement and analyze edge detection algorithms on a standardized test image.</li><li>Classical edge detection algorithms like Roberts, Prewitt, and Sobel operators use convolution kernels to approximate image gradients in MATLAB.</li><li>The Canny algorithm, developed by John F. Canny in 1986, is considered near-optimal based on three criteria and involves multiple stages including Gaussian smoothing and gradient computation.</li><li>Results show that while classical operators offer simple gradient approximations, the Canny edge detector outperforms in noise robustness and edge localization, emphasizing the importance of selecting the appropriate algorithm in computer vision applications.</li></ul>
