Detect edges (amplitude) using the Robinson operator.

::robinson_amp calculates an approximation of the first derivative of the image data and is used as an edge detector. In ::robinson_amp the following four of the originally proposed eight 3x3 filter masks are convolved with the image. The other four masks are obtained by a multiplication by -1. All masks contain only the values 0,1,-1,2,-2. -1 0 1 2 1 0 -2 0 2 1 0 -1 -1 0 1 0 -1 -2 0 1 2 1 2 1 -1 0 1 0 0 0 -2 -1 0 -1 -2 -1 The result image contains the maximum response of all masks.


Parameters

Image (input_object)
(multichannel-)image(-array) -> Hobject: HImage(Array) ( byte / int2 )
Input image.

ImageEdgeAmp (output_object)
(multichannel-)image(-array) -> Hobject * : HImage(Array) ( byte / int2 )
Edge amplitude (gradient magnitude) image.


Example
read_image(&Image,"fabrik");
robinson_amp(Image,&Robinson_amp);
threshold(Robinson_amp,&Edges,128,255);

Result

::robinson_amp always returns H_MSG_TRUE. If the input is empty the behaviour can be set via ::set_system('no_object_result',<Result>). If necessary, an exception handling is raised.
