GradientOperator2d

Provides different algorithms to perform an edge detection based on the first derivative of a two-dimensional image.

Access to parameter description

This command is deprecated, it will be removed in ImageDev 2025.1.
You can use GradientVector2d or GradientMagnitude2d instead.

For an introduction:

GradientOperator2d computes a first order derivative in each image axis direction. To minimize the effect of noise, the algorithm can be combined with a smoothing filter for computing the gradient. A smoothing scale parameter determines the smoothing intensity. If its value is large, noise is reduced but edges are less sharp and only the most significant edges are revealed (this behavior is reversed for the Shen and Castan algorithm). It is important to select the right coefficient to lower the noise just enough without defocusing the edges. Finally the algorithm optionally computes the magnitude of the gradient vectors either by selecting its maximum component or its Euclidean norm.

The following algorithms are proposed to extract the edges of an image:

Canny-Deriche: It performs a recursive gradient computation with an IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filter by derivating the Deriche [1] smoothing filter which has the two-dimensional form: $$ f(x,y)=b^2(\alpha|x|+1)e^{-\alpha|x|}\cdot(\alpha|y|+1)e^{-\alpha|y|}~~where~~b=\frac{\alpha}{4} $$ For color images, the magnitude is computed with the maximum of intensity or the Euclidean mean of the color components.
Shen-Castan: It calculates the gradient of Shen and Castan [2]. It is a recursive and exponential filter that smooths an object and then extracts its edges. It is based on the Shen operator: $$ f(x,y)=\frac{p^2}{4} e^{(-p(|x|+|y|))} $$
The highest $p$ is, the more edges we get. For color images the magnitude is computed with the maximum of intensity or the Euclidean mean of the color components.
Canny: It is similar to Canny-Deriche but using a FIR (finite impulse response) filter [3]. It performs an approximation to get the Canny-Deriche in X and Y directions using a convolution kernel 7x5 for X and 5x7 for Y. The result is nearly the same as Canny-Deriche, but the process is much faster.
Gaussian: It performs a convolution with the derivatives of a Gaussian function along each image axis.
Sobel: It performs a convolution with the Sobel Kernel. It cannot be applied on color images. $$ \mathbf{G_x} = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 & +1 \\ -2 & 0 & +2 \\ -1 & 0 & +1 \end{bmatrix} \quad \mbox{and} \quad \mathbf{G_y} = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -2 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ +1 & +2 & +1 \end{bmatrix} $$
Prewitt: It performs a convolution with the Prewitt Kernel. It cannot be applied on color images. $$ \mathbf{G_x} = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 & +1 \\ -1 & 0 & +1 \\ -1 & 0 & +1 \end{bmatrix} \quad \mbox{and} \quad \mathbf{G_y} = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -1 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ +1 & +1 & +1 \end{bmatrix} $$

Notices:

The output data type is determined by applying the Basic rules defined for arithmetic operations.
To limit overflows, some normalizations are applied with most of the proposed operators by dividing the output gray levels by the sum of absolute values of the kernel coefficients.
The Prewitt and Sobel operators do not apply normalizations and are thus inclined to produce overflows.
By default, the maximum component of each directional gradient is computed. Depending on the selected operator, other output can be selected such as the Euclidean norm or the gradient components.
The smoothing factor has a totally different meaning depending on the selected gradient operator. It represents a smoothing percentage with Canny-Deriche, a sharpenness factor with Shen and Castan, a standard-deviation with the Gaussian and is ignored with Canny, Sobel and Prewitt.
