Optionally, it can also blur the * image with one or more iterations of a 3x3 box blurring kernel (similar to * our Blur program) before performing edge detection, which tends to make * edge detection more robust. If blurring is selected, this program writes * both the blurred image and the grayscale-edge image to files and displays * all three images (the input image and the two output images). * * The Sobel program takes up to three parameters. The first parameter is * the name of the TIFF-format file to read. (The output image file is * constructed by adding "edge_" to the beginning of the input filename.) * An optional second parameter specifies the number of iterations of the * box blurring operation. (The default is zero iterations.) If a third * parameter is present (regardless of what it is), a second output grayscale * image is written, run-length encoded to reduce its file size, with prefix * "rle_". For example, if you run * * java Sobel engine.tiff 5 blah * * then Sobel will read engine.tiff, perform 5 iterations of blurring, perform * Sobel edge detection, map the Sobel gradients to grayscale intensities, * write the blurred image to blur_engine.tiff, write a grayscale-edge image * to edge_engine.tiff, and write a run-length encoded grayscale-edge image to * rle_engine.tiff. * * @author Joel Galenson and Jonathan Shewchuk */ public class Sobel { /** * sobelFile() reads a TIFF image file, performs Sobel edge detection, maps * the Sobel gradients to grayscale intensities, writes the edges to a new * grayscale TIFF image file, and displays both images.
