Abstract
Diagnostics of accelerator beams using TV cameras to observe the beam spot is quite common. Several software algorithms like those based on the work of Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt, Marr-Hildreth, and Canny are appl ied to the captured image to yield a binary image. For the present pur pose, the Canny algorithm is found to produce by far the best result a nd the data obtained is suggestive of further implementation in simila r fields of research.
