Calculating the 1st derivative: link image gradient
Line 21:
=== Calculating the 1st derivative ===
 
Many edge-detection operators are based upon the 1st [[derivative]] of the intensity - this gives us the intensity [[Image gradient|gradient]] of the original data. Using this information we can search an image for peaks in the intensity gradient.
 
If ''I''(''x'') represents the intensity of pixel ''x'', and ''I''′(''x'') represents the first derivative (intensity gradient) at pixel ''x'', we therefore find that:
