prewitt_ampprewitt_ampprewitt_ampPrewittAmpPrewittAmp (Operator)

Name

prewitt_ampprewitt_ampprewitt_ampPrewittAmpPrewittAmp — Detect edges (amplitude) using the Prewitt operator.

Signature

Description

prewitt_ampprewitt_ampprewitt_ampPrewittAmpPrewittAmp calculates an approximation of the first derivative of the image data and is used as an edge detector. The filter is based on the following filter masks:

  A =
        1       1       1
        0       0       0
       -1      -1      -1

  B =
        1       0      -1
        1       0      -1
        1       0      -1

The result image contains the maximum response of the masks A and B.

Parallelization

• Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
• Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
• Automatically parallelized on tuple level.
• Automatically parallelized on channel level.
• Automatically parallelized on domain level.

Parameters

read_image(Image,'fabrik')
prewitt_amp(Image,Prewitt)
threshold(Prewitt,Edges,128,255)

read_image(&Image,"fabrik");
prewitt_amp(Image,&Prewitt);
threshold(Prewitt,&Edges,128,255);

read_image(Image,'fabrik')
prewitt_amp(Image,Prewitt)
threshold(Prewitt,Edges,128,255)

read_image(Image,'fabrik')
prewitt_amp(Image,Prewitt)
threshold(Prewitt,Edges,128,255)

read_image(Image,'fabrik')
prewitt_amp(Image,Prewitt)
threshold(Prewitt,Edges,128,255)

Result

prewitt_ampprewitt_ampprewitt_ampPrewittAmpPrewittAmp always returns 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). If the input is empty the behaviour can be set via set_system('no_object_result',<Result>)set_system("no_object_result",<Result>)set_system("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>). If necessary, an exception is raised.
