I am pretty new to image processing and this is my 1st post. Sobel filter the sobel operator is an algorithm for edge detection, a technique to find the limits between regions in an image.
A parameter controls the degree of smoothing applied. The fourier transform of an image is symmetric respect to the centre. If the gray levels are in pixel counts, then the numbers might range from 0 to 255 for an eightbit per pixel image. K is referred to as the kernel of the convolution or sometimes the stencil in the discrete case. Edge detection is used for image segmentation and data extraction in areas such as image processing, computer vision, and machine vision. Edge detection includes a variety of mathematical methods that aim at identifying points in a digital image at which the image brightness changes sharply or, more formally, has discontinuities.
This filter replaces each pixel with the average of its 3x3 neighborhood. This is performed by finding the zerolevelset of a certain function which contains second derivatives of the data. However, the most may be grouped into two categories, gradient and laplacian. The edge detection operation is essentially an operation to detect significant local changes in the intensity level in an image.
