Hi @pratyush_satapathy, 👋

Our image recognizer is intended to be used for description and classification of images, so filtering and advanced processing like Canny edge detection is beyond Theo scope of it’s intended use.

The good use is that you can extend the functionality of Thunkable by using our [Web API](https://docs.thunkable.com/web-api) component

You should be able to find an API that will be able to do this for you!
