I don't know about a list of low hanging fruit, but I have one you
could work on (or I should just stop being lazy and do it myself).
The image processing toolbox function 'edge' does not have a *true*
canny edge detector. There is a non-standard option called 'andy'
that is similar to the canny edge detector, but isn't quite it. That
is the only edge method still missing from the octave version of
edge.m. I implemented a canny edge detector for my computer vision
class, but haven't had time nor motivation to incorporate it into
edge.m, but am more than willing to contribute my code. I also have a
friend in the class who wrote a much more optimized/vectorized (yet
more memory hungry) version that he said he may be willing to
contribute in place of mine.
