Edge is the basic feature of image. Edges form the outline of an object. The need of edge detection is to find the discontinuities in depth, discontinuities in surface orientation, changes in material properties and variations in scene illumination. So edge detection is one of the most commonly used operations in image analysis and there are probably more algorithm for detecting edges. In this paper various edge detectors like Canny, Sobel, Roberts and Prewitt are compared. These operators are more susceptible to noise and do not give satisfactory result for face outline. For overcoming this disadvantage morphological method is studied and the result of edge detection using morphological method is compared with Canny edge detector, Sobel edge detector, Roberts edge detector and Prewitt edge detector.Wood and Glass Images are taken up as a special conditions for wider number of applications.
