 Many techniques have been proposed in the literature to  detect 
-edges in  images. 
-The most common ones are filter
-edge detection methods such as Sobel  or Canny filters, low order methods such as
-first order  and second order ones. 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 that depend on the
-motivations behind that edges detection.   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
+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.

-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)''.
