I'm developing a program which converts a raster bitmap (1 plane) to vectors.
The first problem in doing this is to detect edges between areas of
different texture. Because I didn't find any algorithm in the literature I
want to ask if anyone has a proper working algorithm to detect such edges.

Please post replies to this newsgroup.
