Rock art, as a precious cultural heritage, carries the memory of ancient civilization and the essence of art. However, its preservation and research are facing great challenges, among which the extraction of rock art line drawings has become one of the important links. This paper discusses the technical method of edge detection for rock art line drawing extraction and its importance in rock art research. Through the introduction of rock art line drawing extraction examples, the complexity of rock art line drawing production and possible problems in image processing are discussed. It is hoped that the use of the computer as a tool to extract line drawings will ease the work of researchers.
