+@section edgedetect
+
+Detect and draw edges. The filter uses the Canny Edge Detection algorithm.
+
+This filter accepts the following optional named parameters:
+
+@table @option
+@item low, high
+Set low and high threshold values used by the Canny thresholding
+algorithm.
+
+The high threshold selects the "strong" edge pixels, which are then
+connected through 8-connectivity with the "weak" edge pixels selected
+by the low threshold.
+
+@var{low} and @var{high} threshold values must be choosen in the range
+[0,1], and @var{low} should be lesser or equal to @var{high}.
+
+Default value for @var{low} is @code{20/255}, and default value for @var{high}
+is @code{50/255}.
+@end table
+
+Example:
+@example
+edgedetect=low=0.1:high=0.4
+@end example
+
