A system and method for delineating the edges of an object in an image frame formed of a two dimensional array of pixels represented by a plurality of gray scale values representing the gray scales of the pixels. A reference contrast level based on the distribution of contrast levels between contiguous pixels is established, and the contrast levels of pairs of pixels in square groupings of four contigous pixels are compared with the reference contrast level. A two dimensional array of elements corresponding to the arrangement of the square groupings of pixels is formed in which each element has a first value only if the contrast level between a pair of pixels in a square grouping is greater than the reference contrast level.
