kirsch_ampkirsch_ampKirschAmpKirschAmpkirsch_amp (Operator)

Name

kirsch_ampkirsch_ampKirschAmpKirschAmpkirsch_amp — Detect edges (amplitude) using the Kirsch operator.

Signature

Description

kirsch_ampkirsch_ampKirschAmpKirschAmpkirsch_amp 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: -3 -3 5 -3 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 -3 -3 0 5 -3 0 5 -3 0 -3 5 0 -3 -3 -3 5 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 5 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 5 0 -3 5 0 -3 -3 0 -3 -3 0 5 5 -3 -3 5 5 -3 5 5 5 -3 5 5 The result image contains the maximum response of all masks.

Attention

Note that filter operators may return unexpected results if an image with a reduced domain is used as input. Please refer to the chapter Filters.

Execution Information

• 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')
kirsch_amp(Image,Kirsch_amp)
threshold(Kirsch_amp,Edges,128,255)

read_image(&Image,"fabrik");
kirsch_amp(Image,&Kirsch_amp);
threshold(Kirsch_amp,&Edges,128,255);

read_image(Image,'fabrik')
kirsch_amp(Image,Kirsch_amp)
threshold(Kirsch_amp,Edges,128,255)

read_image(Image,'fabrik')
kirsch_amp(Image,Kirsch_amp)
threshold(Kirsch_amp,Edges,128,255)

Result

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