What is threshold in edge detection?
Such a standardized statistic based on the gradient vector at each pixel is used to determine the eligibility of the pixel to be an edge pixel. The results obtained from the proposed method are found to be comparable to those from many well-known edge detectors.
How derivatives are used for edge detection?
In this method we take the 1st derivative of the intensity value across the image and find points where the derivative is maximum then the edge could be located. The gradient is a vector, whose components measure how rapid pixel value are changing with distance in the x and y direction.
Which is better Sobel or Prewitt?
Also if you compare the result of sobel operator with Prewitt operator, you will find that sobel operator finds more edges or make edges more visible as compared to Prewitt Operator. This is because in sobel operator we have allotted more weight to the pixel intensities around the edges.
