Edge Detection and OpenCv
Fortunately, one of the examples in the OpenCV Python set is a program named edge.py. The following is that file (with blank lines removed):
This program uses the Canny image detection algorithm implemented by OpenCV to find the edges in any image. For more on the Canny edge algorithm, refer to http://dasl.mem.drexel.edu/alumni/bGreen/www.pages.drexel.edu/_weg22/can_tut.html or http://opencv-python-tutroals.readthedocs.org/en/latest/py_tutorials/py_imgproc/py_canny/py_canny.html. You captured an image earlier; you can use this program to look at the edges and to also see how setting a different threshold can show more/less ...
