Edge Drawing (ED) is our recently-proposed, novel, fast edge detection algorithm. What makes ED stand out
the existing edge detectors, e.g., Canny, is the following: While the other edge detectors give out a binary
edge image as output, where the etected edge pixels are usually independent, discontinuous entities ED produces a
set of edge segments, which are clean, contiguous, i.e., connected, chains of edge pixels. Thus, while the output of
the other edge detectors requires urther processing to generate potential object boundaries, which may not even be
possible or result in inaccuracies ED not only produces perfectly connected object boundaries by default, but it also achieves this in blazing speed compared to other edge detector.
