Question

I know the edge detection problem has been posted before (in Java: Count the number of objects in an Image, language independent: Image edge detection), but I want to know how to implement it in python.

I’m doing edge detection and curvature calculation around the edge on some simple shapes (binary shape with some noise). I know there are some wrapper for OpenCV, but not sure which one is better: pyopencv, pycv, pycvf?

Since I’m basically only doing this two tasks, I’m also not sure whether it would be faster to implement it by myself rather than using the library.

Answer 1

We have segmentation and edge detection algorithms in the actively developed scikit-image that you may find useful:
