| Description |
Features of code:
1. Not difficult.
2. The minimum number of lines.
3. Using simple operations on matrices.
4. Fast.
CODE:
function [OUT] = edge2(IN)
% EDGE2 finds edges in a binary image.
% IN - logic array (binary image).
% OUT - logic array (binary image) of the same size as IN.
%
% Binary image IN:
% (0) "false" - background,
% (1) "true" - objects.
% Binary image OUT:
% (1) "true" where the function finds edges,
% (0) "false" elsewhere.
%
% Remarks
% -------
% Edges can be internal and external. This function finds the EXTERNAL
% edges. But if you need to find the internal edges, you must invert
% a binary image IN.
%
% Example
% -------
% Find edges in the binary image IN:
%
% OUT = edge2(IN); external edges
% OUT = edge2(~IN); internal edges
%
% See also: EDGE
