You can experiment yourself, as I have done, with single frame captures.
I captured an image to a .bmp file and read it with a bit of VB code.
You can decode changes between two frames by XOR'ing each pixel and then
plot the result.

Edge detection begins by finding contrast changes. Work through a .BMP
capture file and for each pixel, check the difference in level for all
8 neighbouring pixels. If there's a difference, there's an edge.

some really simple code will show images changes and edges.

Doing it at high speed in realtime is more of a challenge though -
especially if you want to code it yourself.
