In general contour extraction from two-dimensional images may be accomplished in two operations 1 Edge detection 2 Contour tracing. 1 Edge detection The aim of edge detection is to identify and enhance edges pixels belonging to boundaries of object of interest in the original image. An edge element is defined as a picture element which lies on the boundary between objects or regions of different intensities or gray levels. Many edge detection methods have been proposed for detecting and enhancing edges in digital images. Most of these methods are implemented as some form of gradient operators. Some images can be characterized as containing some objects of interest of reasonably uniform brightness placed against a background of differing brightness. Typical examples .
