The last decade of 20th century has witnessed IT to have revolutionary effect on the lives of people. During this period, Indian engineers and scientists have earned high degree of esteem around the world for their highly professional and innovative contributions. In general, IT covers all aspects of managing and processing information. IT industry has emerged as one of the fastest growing industries in India. As a proportion of Gross Domestic Product, the IT industry revenue has grown fromThe extracting of personal sprite from the whole image faced many problems in separating the sprite edge from the unneeded parts, some image software try to automate this process, but usually they couldn’t find the edge or have false result. In this paper, we have made an enhancement on the use of Canny edge detection to locate the sprite from the whole image by adding some enhancement steps by using MATLAB. Moreover, remove all the non-relevant information from the image by selecting only the sprite and place it in a transparent background.The results of comparing the Canny edge detection with the proposed method shows improvement in the edge detection.
