Compute the 3x3 intensity gradient direction. Gradients range from 1 to
8.
function call:
[out_img1]=vsg('IntensGradDir',in_img1);
Arguments:
in_img1
input image, 3 channel RGB, 1 channel greyscale or binary image, or
DICOM image.
Description:
out_img1 - An image which has dimensions the same as the input image.
The output image displays the direction of the gradient of the image
according to these values:
1 2 3
4 – 5
6 7 8
Example:
img = openimage('lake.jpg');
h=figure;image(img); set(h,'Name','Input');
[out_img1]=vsg('IntensGradDir',img);
h=figure;imagesc(out_img1(:,:,1));colormap(gray);set(h,'Name','Intensity
Gradient Direction');
Notes:
For DICOM and RGB images, the function operates on each channel/slice
separately.
