Implementation of canny edge detection in Go

This projects implements edge detection in a given image using the so called canny algorithm. The implemented algorithm consists of the following steps:

1. perform gaussian blur (optional)
2. perform sobel filtering
3. apply non-maximum suppression
4. perform double thresholding
5. track edges by hysteresis

The implementation supports the input and output of jpg and png images.

I started this project to get more familiar with the go programming language. In the future I would like to use the edge detection functionality to transform images into something that looks like a grid representation of the main features of the image.
