There are several typical edge dteton operators in digital
image processing are theocetially analyzed, and are used for road alge
detection. By comparing the simulation results of road edge detection, the
etter road tet results can be puned [1]. The geometry of the operator
determines a characteristic direction in wich it is most sensiie toed.
Operators canbe optimized t0 look for horizontal, vertical, or diagonal
