%X Edge detection, especially in image processing occupies a special position. How to accurately extract the edge information of object in images has been the hot research. One of the main objectives of image analysis is to extract the dominating information. Segmentation of image is defined as being major step in image processing that extracts and describes the presence of significant object in a scene, often in the form of region or edges. This paper describes several edge detection operators like Sobel, Prewitt, Canny, Roberts, Zero threshold and emergence of combination of different spatial edge detection method, and its matlab simulation studies and comparative analysis.
