The $F^1$-transform is used for preprocessing in the well known Canny detector. A justification of using the $F^1$-transform in edge detection is presented. Finally, a comparative analysis of the ``classical'' Canny algorithm and the $F^1$-transform edge detector together with various examples is given. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-31709-5\_24} \end
