Best articles to start learning about edge detection/image recognition

algorithm, computer-vision, edge-detection, image-processing

Solution

I found the series by Christian Graus on Code Project to be useful:

Image Processing for Dummies with C# and GDI+ Part 1 - Per Pixel Filters Image Processing for Dummies with C# and GDI+ Part 2 - Convolution Filters Image Processing for Dummies with C# and GDI+ Part 3 - Edge Detection Filters Image Processing for Dummies with C# and GDI+ Part 4 - Bilinear Filters and Resizing Image Processing for Dummies with C# and GDI+ Part 5 - Displacement filters, including swirl Image Processing for Dummies with C# and GDI+ Part 6 - The HSL color space

Problem

I am involved in a personal project which will require pretty extensive knowledge of edge detection and image segmentation/object recognition. I know the importance of planning/understanding before writing code and with this in mind, what is the best place to start, to learn about these areas of computing? I am ideally looking for online articles/papers. Thanks
