Detection of edge points of 3-dimensional physical object in a 2-dimensional image is one of the main research areas of computer vision. Object contour detection and object recognition rely heavily on edge detection. The Spiral Architecture, a relatively new image structure, possesses powerful computational features that are pertinent to the vision process. In this paper, we present an edge detection scheme using Gaussian Multi-Resolution Theory. The detection algorithm reduces noise and unnecessary details of the image. This algorithm is applied to obtain the edge maps of some well-known images for image processing.
