sobel_dir — 2D edges op

Data kinds: imageimage

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

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

Usage

The direction of the Sobel gradient (`arctan2(dy, dx) mapped to [0,1], where 0=-pi and 1=+pi). The counterpart to sobel_amp, which returns magnitude; this operation computes the direction an edge runs in. Equivalent to HALCON's sobel_dir` (Detect edges (amplitude and direction) using the Sobel operator.) (HALCON returns amplitude and direction together, but here direction is separated out as its own op).

ノイズに支配される点に注意。
