boofcv.alg.filter.derivative.LaplacianEdge

public class LaplacianEdge
extends Object

The Laplacian is convolved across an image to find second derivative of the image. It is often a faster way to compute the intensity of an edge than first derivative algorithms.

 This implementation of the laplacian has a 3 by 3 kernel.

            partial^2 f     partial^2 f
 f(x,y) =   ~~~~~~~~~~~  +  ~~~~~~~~~~~
            partial x^2     partial x^2

          [ 0   1   0 ]
 kernel = [ 1  -4   1 ]
          [ 0   1   0 ]
 

This formulation is derived by using the [-1 1 0] and [0 -1 1] difference kernels for the image derivative. Alternative formulations can be found using other kernels.

DEVELOPER NOTE: This is still a strong candidate for further optimizations due to redundant array accesses.
