Hi,
while updating the de.po, I wondered whether "Canny edge detection" means "Cautious edge detection" or "Clever edge detection"?
Maybe a different word should be used unless it's totally unambiguous for native English speakers.

It is the name of the inventor: /(1983) : Canny J.,"A Computational Approach to Edge Detection"
Fascinating coincidence. The family must have a long history of brilliance or perhaps the name must almost raise peoples expectations of them.
A less ambigious label still sounds like a good idea though.
