โฆ Synopsis
The sources of error for the edge finding technique proposed by Marr and Hildreth are identified, and the magnitudes of the errors are estimated, based on idealized models of the most common error producing situations. Errors are shown to be small for linear illuminations, as well as for nonlinear illuminations with a second derivative less than a critical value. Nonlinear illuminations are shown to lead to spurious contours under some conditions, and some fast techniques for discarding such contours are suggested.

Derivative operators such as the gradient and Laplacian have been used for many years to detect edges in pictures. This note points out a possible advantage of using combinations of such operators for edge detection.
This paper summarizes a system, called SED ''Selection of Edge Detectors'', which is able to automatically select edge detectors and their scales to extract a given edge. The basic organization of the SED system is a collection of edge detectors within a knowledge structure made up of the characteri
