This repository contains an educational implementation of the Canny Edge Detector in Python 2.7. I wrote this to generate plots for my Bachelor's thesis about Numerical Edge Detection and not for productive applications.
The algorithm was splitted in it's 5 essential parts. You can find the corresponding functions in CannyEdge/core.py.
Requirements: You need to have Python 2.7, Numpy, SciPy and the Matplotlib installed. You can also use Python Anaconda which already includes all those libraries.
