Best articles to start learning about edge detection/image recognition

Question

I am involved in a personal project which will require pretty extensive knowledge of edge detection and image segmentation/object recognition.

I know the importance of p

Answer 1

I would suggest looking for good computer vision course slides, such as these Stanford one:

• for edge detection check out lecture 3: Features and Linear Filters and lecture 5: Advanced Image Features (ppt)
• for advanced segmentation techniques check out lecture 12: Segmentation (ppt) (perhaps a bit too advanced if you're new to computer vision)

In general I find interesting materials by googling university sites for powerpoint presentations on any given subject: computer vision site:edu filetype:ppt
