Edges may be ''viewpoint dependent'' - these are edges that may change as the viewpoint changes, and typically reflect the geometry of the scene, objects occluding one another and so on, or may be ''viewpoint independent'' - these generally reflect properties of the viewed objects such as markings and surface shape. In two dimensions, and higher, the concept of a [[projection]] has to be considered.
