Operator Reference
robinson_dir (Operator)
robinson_dir
— Detect edges (amplitude and direction) using the Robinson operator.
Signature
robinson_dir(Image : ImageEdgeAmp, ImageEdgeDir : : )
Description
robinson_dir
calculates an approximation of the first
derivative of the image data and is used as an edge detector. In
robinson_amp
the following four of the originally
proposed eight 3x3 filter masks are convolved with
the image. The other four masks are obtained by a multiplication by
-1. All masks contain only the values 0,1,-1,2,-2.
-1 0 1 2 1 0
-2 0 2 1 0 -1
-1 0 1 0 -1 -2
0 1 2 1 2 1
-1 0 1 0 0 0
-2 -1 0 -1 -2 -1
The result image contains the maximum response of all masks. The
edge directions are returned in ImageEdgeDir
, and are
stored as . They correspond to the direction of
the mask yielding the maximum response.
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
Image
(input_object) (multichannel-)image(-array) →
object (byte / int2 / uint2)
Input image.
ImageEdgeAmp
(output_object) (multichannel-)image(-array) →
object (byte / int2 / uint2)
Edge amplitude (gradient magnitude) image.
ImageEdgeDir
(output_object) (multichannel-)image(-array) →
object (direction)
Edge direction image.
Example (HDevelop)
read_image(Image,'fabrik') robinson_dir(Image,Robinson_dirA,Robinson_dirD) threshold(Robinson_dirA,Res,128,255)
Result
robinson_dir
always returns 2 (
H_MSG_TRUE)
. If the input is empty
the behavior can be set via
set_system('no_object_result',<Result>)
.
If necessary, an exception is raised.
