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"
Ah, didn't get that :)
In that case, I'd maybe say "Use algorithm by J. Canny" or "Use Canny algorithm", where the capitalised "Canny" will make sure it's not read as an attribute.
Cheers, Colin
