Description

robertsrobertsRobertsRobertsroberts calculates the first derivative of an image and is used as an edge operator. If the following mask describes a part of the image, A B C D the different filter types are defined as follows: 'roberts_max' max(| A - D |,| B - C |) 'gradient_max' max(| A + B - (C + D)|,| A + C - (B + D)|) 'gradient_sum' |A + B - (C + D)| + |A + C - (B + D)| If an overflow occurs the result is clipped. The result of the operator is stored at the pixel with the coordinates of "D".

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.

Example (HDevelop)

read_image(Image,'fabrik')
roberts(Image,Roberts,'roberts_max')
threshold(Roberts,Margin,128,255)

Example (C)

read_image(&Image,"fabrik");
roberts(Image,&Roberts,"roberts_max");
threshold(Roberts,&Margin,128.0,255.0);

Example (HDevelop)

read_image(Image,'fabrik')
roberts(Image,Roberts,'roberts_max')
threshold(Roberts,Margin,128,255)

Example (HDevelop)

read_image(Image,'fabrik')
roberts(Image,Roberts,'roberts_max')
threshold(Roberts,Margin,128,255)

Result

robertsrobertsRobertsRobertsroberts returns 2 ( H_MSG_TRUE) if all parameters are correct. 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.
