Laplacian edge detector. User defined 4-connected or 8-connected
neighbourhood.
function call:
[out_img1]=vsg('Laplacian',in_img1,connected);
Arguments:
in_img1 input image, 3 channel
RGB, 1 channel greyscale or binary image, or DICOM image.
connected – an integer specifying whether a 4 or 8 connected scheme
should be used.
Description:
The Laplacian function performs
second-order derivative on the image. The out_img1 - An
image which has dimensions the same as the input image. The output image
displays the result of using a laplacian kernel on the input image.
Example:
img = openimage('lake.jpg');
h=figure;image(img); set(h,'Name','Input');
[out_img1]=vsg('Laplacian',img,8);
h=figure;imagesc(out_img1(:,:,1));colormap(gray);set(h,'Name','Laplacian');
Notes:
For DICOM and RGB images, the function operates on each channel/slice
separately.
