Optimal algorithm of edge detection within the system of computer vision

The article touches upon the edge detection of digital images in robotics. Four algorithms of edge identification singled out by Kirsh, Robinson, Canny and Marr-Hildreth serve as the subject matter of the research. With the help of these algorithms widely used in the modern robotics, the research of efficiency of edge detection of images within the systems of computer vision which accept various input types of objects has been done. The results of the research done have shown that the method of Canny is the most effective in edge detection of images. During the work process, it has been found out that this method allows achieving both high definition and refinement. The method of Marr-Hildreth has become the second efficient method in edging of line contours. Based on the research results, the following conclusion can be drawn: there are more universal algorithms, but each of them differently fits particular classes of images.
