Image derivatives can be computed by using small convolution filters of size 2 × 2 or 3 × 3, such as the Laplacian, Sobel, Roberts and Prewitt operators.[1] However, a larger mask will generally give a better approximation of the derivative and examples of such filters are Gaussian derivatives[2] and Gabor filters.[3] Sometimes high frequency noise needs to be removed and this can be incorporated in the filter so that the Gaussian kernel will act as a band pass filter.[4] The use of Gabor filters[5] in image processing has been motivated by some of its similarities to the perception in the human visual system.[6]
The pixel value is computed as a convolution
where is the derivative kernel and is the pixel values in a region of the image and is the operator that performs the convolution.
