Abstract: This paper presents two new evaluation methods on edge detectors. The first is non-contextual and it concerns the evaluation of performance of edge detectors in terms of detection errors. The second method is contextual and it concerns the evaluation of performance of edge detectors used in image compression. In both methods, we studied the influuence of the image characteristics and edge detector properties on its performance. Seven detectors have been evaluated and their performance compared.
