Abstract: The base of the empirical approach to edge detectors' evaluation is the use of the special artificial images test set. A number of such image editor generated images are examined. The results of performance evaluation comparative study for the well-known edge detectors Heitger, Canny, Rothwell, Black, Iverson, Smith are given. These results were gotten on the test images subjected to distortions.

Keywords: edge detector, ground truth, sensitivity, specificity.
