Sobel Edge DetectionThe Sobel operator is a classic first order edge detection operator that finds contrast by a process akin with differentiation. Here we detect the magnitude of the edges by convolving two 3*3 templates with the grey level image. How it worksSobel calculates not only the magnitude of the edges, but also their direction. The operator uses a 3x3 template horizontally then vertically:
The resulting image uses pythagoras to generate the magnitude of the edges and inverse tan to get the direction of the edges.
