NAME

fbedge - compute the derivative of an image (edge detection)  

SYNOPSIS

fbedge [ -t<threshhold> ] [ -<type> ] < bitmap > bitmap
 

DESCRIPTION

Computes a halftoned image composed of edges in the original. Edge detection is done by digital Laplacian.

-t<num>
threshhold argument, specifies a threshhold for detecting edges. Pixels with first derivatives greater than the threshhold will be black, and others will be white.
-B
face format, as used by Bennet Yee's face program at CMU.
-F
FBM, format (by default, the default). You are guaranteed not to lose information by specifying FBM as the default.
-G
GIF, Compuserve GIF format.
-I
IFF format, interleaved bitmaps (ILBM), used by Amigas.
-P
PBM, Jef Poskanzer's bitmap format.
-S
sun, Sun rasterfiles (not run length encoded).
 

EXAMPLE

To produce an image of regions in a grayscale image where the first derivative is greater than 10, and output the result as a Sun rasterfile:


    % fbedge -t10 -S < foo.gray > foo.1bit
