Signature

Description

kirsch_ampkirsch_ampKirschAmpKirschAmpKirschAmp 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

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)

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

Result

kirsch_ampkirsch_ampKirschAmpKirschAmpKirschAmp 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>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>). If necessary, an exception is raised.
