What is Prewitt filter in image processing?
The Prewitt operator is used in image processing, particularly within edge detection algorithms. Technically, it is a discrete differentiation operator, computing an approximation of the gradient of the image intensity function.
Is Prewitt filter a high pass filter?
The prewitt operator is simply a digitalization of discrete differentiation. If it was implemented in a circuital form it would attentuate low frequency signals and only allow high frequency signals to pass through. Which is precisely the definition of a high-pass filter.
Which is better Sobel or Prewitt?
Also if you compare the result of sobel operator with Prewitt operator, you will find that sobel operator finds more edges or make edges more visible as compared to Prewitt Operator. This is because in sobel operator we have allotted more weight to the pixel intensities around the edges.
What are the differences between the Prewitt and Sobel filters?
The Prewitt Edge filter is use to detect edges based applying a horizontal and vertical filter in sequence whereas, sobel edge filter creates image emphasising edges. In Prewitt operator the edges are calculated by using difference between corresponding pixel intensities of an image.
