===================
Canny edge detector
===================
The Canny filter is a multi-stage edge detector. It uses a filter based on the
derivative of a Gaussian in order to compute the intensity of the gradients.The
Gaussian reduces the effect of noise present in the image. Then, potential
edges are thinned down to 1-pixel curves by removing non-maximum pixels of the
gradient magnitude. Finally, edge pixels are kept or removed using hysteresis
thresholding on the gradient magnitude.
The Canny has three adjustable parameters: the width of the Gaussian (the
noisier the image, the greater the width), and the low and high threshold for
the hysteresis thresholding.
