Medical imaging through histogram equalization and canny edge detection method

Medical images edge detection is an important work for object recognition of the human organs. It is an important pre-processing step in surgery planning to detect the location and size of cancerous tissues or tumor. Today, many edge detection methods were introduced in order to obtain the better re...
