What is Laplacian edge detection?

A Laplacian filter is an edge detector used to compute the second derivatives of an image, measuring the rate at which the first derivatives change. This determines if a change in adjacent pixel values is from an edge or continuous progression.

What is Laplacian of Gaussian edge detection?

Laplacian of Gaussian is a popular edge detection algorithm. Edge detection is an important part of image processing and computer vision applications. It is used to detect objects, locate boundaries, and extract features.

Can Laplacian of Gaussian filter detect edges?

Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) Filter - useful for finding edges - also useful for finding blobs! Sharp changes in gray level of the input image correspond to “peaks or valleys” of the first-derivative of the input signal.

What is the difference between Sobel and Laplace edge detection operator?

We have two methods for detecting edges: Sobel and Laplacian. Sobel uses horizontal and vertical kernels, while Laplacian uses one symmetrical kernel.
