Abstract - This work is done to describe real time video
edge detection or image edge detection. In today’s life edge
detection becomes an important concern for image
processing or for real time video processing. This is
important in various fields like in medical field, traffic
control systems, in defense applications or in satellite
imaging, etc. Edge detection is considered to be one of the
most commonly used operation in image processing and
video processing. Edge detection is a pre- processing step to
raise the standard of the images, and edges in noise-
contaminated image. Edge detection technique is used to
preserve the edge details of the image by removing
unwanted data from the image. In this work, our main
motive to identify all possible edges of frames of videos in
real time. Apart from this, we have developed an GUI- So
user have options to pick any edge detection techniques and
will get the edges of an image in real time. For real time
images, we have used camera to take input in our
implementation.

1.INTRODUCTION
Image processing [1] has become very important
and popular area for research. Edge detection is an
important part in image processing. It seems
everywhere if we want to extract useful information
from the image or to discover the characteristics of the
image. But images have problems with detecting edges,
such as false edge detection, thick or thin edge lines can
also arise, missing real edges, problems due to the
presence of noise within the image, and so on. So to
solve this problem various edge detection techniques
are implemented which can perform various
operations. For example, if we wish to detect different
objects from the images or videos then through image
segmentation the objects are separated and we will
easily detect objects using edge detection techniques.
And the most consequential utilization of edge
detection technique is to extract the cognizance
regarding the form of the things or object. Edge
detection is employed for sundry purposes like to image
enhancement, image analysis, texture feature extraction
[3, 15], image segmentation, visual perception and so
forth.
1.1 Edge
An edge might have outlined as a collection of
connected pixels that form a boundary between two
disjoint regions. Most of the form information of an
image is enclosed in edge.
1.2 Edge Detection
Edge detection [7, 8] is the basic tool in image
processing. especially within the field of feature
detection and in feature extraction. Edge detection
removes the inessential information from the image
while finding structure of the image object and it
identifying points in a digital image at which the image
brightness changes rapidly.
1.2 Image Processing
When we perform an operation on image, then it
can be called image processing [4]. Image
processing may be a technique that's employed to
strengthen an image or extract information from an
image. Image processing can be a subset of Computer
vision [5].
2. LITERATURE RIVIEW
As, we all know that the edges are the essential
features of an image. There are several methods and
techniques available to locate the edges of an image.
Each technique detects the edges of the image but the
standard of output given by these operators are
different. So, this paper will explain various types of
edge detection techniques and also compare those
techniques, which will seek better technique among all.
Various edge techniques are given below.
2.1 Robert Edge Detection Operator
The Robert Edge Detection Operator [9, 10] is
started by Lawrence Robert (1965). Robert's operator
is extremely simple and very quick to detect the edge of
