SobelEdgeImg

DESCRIPTION

Performs edge detection using two Sobel 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
 -1  +0  +1               +1  +2  +1
 -2  +0  +2               +0  +0  +0
 -1  +0  +1               -1  -2  -1
Edge detection by convolution with Sobel kernels is discussed in: Digital Image Processing, Gonzales, R.C., Wintz, P., Addison Wesley, Second Edition, 1987, p 337.
