Canny Edge Detector

Hello Every body,

I'm new here n in the .Net atmosphere as well. I don’t know nothing about VB.
Currently I’m working on object detection project and need help in Canny Edge Detector. I have a piece of code written in Java. Can somebody help me to translate that code into VB.NET formate.

Thanks Indeed
