[R] Raster management data

[Poizot Emmanuel]

Hi,
I'm a newbie in R world.
I would like to develop an application that extract contour from objects of 
an image.
- Is R able to manage raster data (i.e., images) ?
- Is there a specific package in change of such management ?
I'm specificaly interest in the Canny filter.
