Edge following occurs after edge detection in a computer vision pipeline. When one or more pixel or point in an image have been identified as potentially liying in an edge, neighbouring pixels are examined to see if they can be included in the same edge – that is edge detection labels points as being potentially on an edge, whereas edge following turns these into (often curvy) lines.
