Thresholding in Canny edge detection algorithm
Show older comments
Since Canny recommended a ratio of high:low threshold to be between 2:1 and 3:1. I am interested in knowing why is this range particularly selected? Does the answer lie within the understanding of how humans look at images? Any link or explanation would be much appreciated.

I would guess it's just a rule of thumb based on general experience - that's why it's such a wide range. You'll have to fine tune the number for your particular kind of images.
