diff_of_gauss — 2D edges op

• Data kinds: image → image

• Call: fullseye.apply(img, "diff_of_gauss", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

• HALCON equivalent: diff_of_gauss (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

Usage

Band-pass edge/blob detection by DoG (Difference of Gaussians; the difference between images blurred with two different sigma values). A classic technique known as a fast approximation of LoG. Equivalent to HALCON's `diff_of_gauss` (Approximate the LoG operator (Laplace of Gaussian).).

`a が狭い側のシグマ(0.5〜2.5)、b` が広い側のシグマ(1〜5)を振る ―― 両方

が使われ、`b` の方を大きくとることで帯域幅が決まる。応答は絶対値を取って
