Image Enhancement

Differentiation leads to

• removal of constant values in the direction of the operation;

• extraction of edges in the orthogonal direction; and

• removal of the average intensity (DC component).

Roberts gradient uses cross-differences

• This operator computes diagonal edge gradients.The advantage of this operator is that the resulting image pixel values may be written in the same array as the input image.
