The document discusses the Deriche edge detector algorithm. It summarizes that the Deriche filter approximates Gaussian filters using recursive filters with a fixed number of coefficients. This allows edge detection to be done efficiently regardless of the Gaussian standard deviation. The algorithm uses an infinite impulse response filter form consisting of a causal and anti-causal filter. It optimizes the Canny edge detection criteria and becomes most effective when the value of omega approaches 0. The document provides code samples for implementing the Deriche edge detector.
