pgmedge(1) Unix Programmer's Manual pgmedge(1)
NAME
pgmedge - edge-detect a portable graymap
SYNOPSIS
pgmedge [pgmfile]
-------
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable graymap as input. Outlines the edges, and writes a
portable graymap as output. Piping the result through pgmtopbm
-threshold and playing with the threshold value will give a bitmap of the
edges.
The edge detection technique used is to take the Pythagorean sum of two
Sobel gradient operators at 90 degrees to each other. For more details
see "Digital Image Processing" by Gonzalez and Wintz, chapter 7.
