File Information
Description

The Rotating Kernel Transformation convolves an image with several orientations of a kernel.
For a line-kernel, straight lines are emphasized. For larger kernels, it becomes computationally expensive.

The zip-archive contains 5 files:
1) rktfilt.m ... function for filtering
2) rktkern.m ... for creating a kernel
3) rkttest.m ... script for testing the example
4) rktexample.mat ... sample image
5) example.png ... example screenshot

Please use
'help rktfilt' or 'doc rktfilt',
'help rktkern' or 'doc rktkern'
for help.

2 changes to rktfilt.m
1) Convert input to double
  -> gets rid of warnings on Matlab 7 versions
2) Use imfilter instead of conv2
  -> Quicker

Update inspired by File ID 14995
