How do you detect support for VML or SVG in a browser

I'm writing a bit of javascript and need to choose between SVG or VML (or both, or something else, it's a weird world).

Is there a way to get pixel data from Internet Explorer?

Excanvas.js allows IE to work with the canvas tag, but the getImageData method is not supported. Is there any way at all to get the value of a specified pixel in IE (img or VML or whatever other ways bitmaps from a server can be displayed in IE)? I'm assuming there's not.
