-There are many techniques to detect edges in images. Main methods are filter

-first order and second order methods, these methods are based on gradient or
-Laplace operators and fuzzy edge methods, which are based on fuzzy logic to
-highlight edges.

-Of course, all the algorithms have advantages and drawbacks which depend on the
-motivation to highlight edges. Unfortunately unless testing most of the
-algorithms, which would require many times, it is quite difficult to have an
-accurate idea on what would produce such algorithm compared to another. That is
-why we have chosen Canny algorithm which is well known, fast and implementable
-on many kinds of architecture, such as FPGA, smartphone, desktop machines and
-GPU. And of course, we do not pretend that this is the best solution.

-In order to be able to compute the same set of edge pixels, we suggest to consider all the bits of the image (cover or stego) without the LSB. With an 8 bits image, only the 7 first bits are considered. In our flowcharts, this is represented by LSB(7 bits Edge Detection).

+Many techniques have been proposed in the literature to detect
+edges in images (whose noise has been initially reduced).
+They can be separated in two categories: first and second order detection
+methods on the one hand, and fuzzy detectors in the second hand~\cite{KF11}.
+In first order methods like Sobel,
+a first-order derivative (gradient magnitude, etc.) is computed
+to search for local maxima, whereas in second order ones, zero crossings in a second-order derivative, like the Laplacian computed from the image,
+are searched in order to find edges.
+For fuzzy edge methods, they are obviously based on fuzzy logic to highlight
+edges.
+Canny filters, on their parts, are an old family of algorithms still remaining a state-of-the-art edge detector. They can be well approximated by first-order derivatives of Gaussians.
