An edge detect should do the trick but you need to decide on which of
the channels (R, G or B) or maybe all to run the edge detect on. even
better again you could try converting to an alternative colour space
YCbCr or something. Some of these other colour spaces have individual
channels (in this case Y) which will show a change in illumination
much better than say a channel to do with any particular colour or
chrominance. Please dont assume from this that YCbCr is the right
option im just using it as an example
