The Canny edge detection algorithm, as I understand it,
(a) may utilise different gradient filters
(b) always results in one-pixel thin lines at the end
So I'm not sure how that would work in the standard.  Unless you always
have *two* edges.

Step gives sharp contours but it may emphasise the small features a bit
too much.  Also, it's somewhat eccentric.  For general purpose, using
the classic hypotenuse of a horizontal and vertical gradient filter is
a safer bet.  For the filters, I'd suggest the optimised Scharr gradient

    3/16, 0, -3/16
    5/8,  0, -5/8
    3/16, 0, -3/16

(and transponsed) that should lead to a more uniform angular response.

I don't know any.  Anyway, taking hundreds of sections is easy.  The
difficult part is finding automatically where exactly take them.
