How can I automate edge detection process on an image?

I already have a module that uses an edge detection scheme for finding the shock wave. The process is a combination of an edge detection by looking for gradients then dilations and erosions to try to fill in the shock wave. This is a separate module because for some systems a different series of image processing tools might be desired. I need to find a way to automate this process and make it more efficient. Would it be possible to automate the edge detection process?

Yes. Write a script. Or use GUIDE to make a more comprehensive application with a full GUI.
