RobertsEdgeImg

DESCRIPTION

Performs edge detection using Roberts kernels. The module performs two independent filtering operations using convolution kernels denoted X and Y, then adds the absolute values of the outputs according to 
 output = | convolve( input, X ) |  +
 | convolve( input, Y ) |
The output is clipped to the valid data range for its word type, for instance [0..255] for byte data and [0..65535] for short data. The two kernels are 
   X                 Y
 0   -1          -1    0
 1    0           0     1
Edge detection by convolution with Roberts kernels is discussed in: Digital Image Processing, Gonzales, R.C., Wintz, P., Addison Wesley, Second Edition, 1987, p 177.
