Abstract

In this paper the novel modification of the well known Canny edge detection algorithm is presented. The first section describes the goal to be achieved by using the new algorithm. The second section describes theoretical basis of Canny algorithm and its practical implementation. Next, basics of the Ramer---Douglas---Peucker algorithm used for reducing the number of points in the curve are presented. The extension of the Canny algorithm and its implementation are presented in the fourth section. The next section shows the results of the new algorithm implementation for various images and presents statistical data to report effectiveness of the proposed algorithm modification.
