Implementing Sobel Gradient without image package

14 views (last 30 days)
I am supposed to apply a Sobel filter on an image in Octave, but I am not allowed to use any functions from the image package. I wrote the code but my output is just a black image. Here is what I have so far: (Thank you in advance!)
kx= [1 ,0 ,-1; 2,0,-2; 1, 0 ,-1];
ky= [1,2,1; 0,0, 0; -1, -2 ,-1];
H = conv2(kx,im2double(my_img),'same');
V = conv2(ky,im2double(my_img),'same');
E = sqrtm(H.*H + V.*V);
figure 4
imshow(E, [])

conv2(... 'same') uses the size of the first input. Also don't you want sqrt and not sqrtm?
