LaplacianFilter
LaplacianFilter
convolves
image
with a range
r
Laplacian kernel.
LaplacianFilter
uses ranges
in the vertical and horizontal directions.
LaplacianFilter
applies Laplacian filtering to an array of data.
MORE INFORMATION
LaplacianFilter
operates separately on each channel in an image.
LaplacianFilter
takes a
Padding
option. The default setting is
Padding
.
LaplacianFilter
by default gives an image of the same dimensions as
image
.
With a setting
Padding
->
None
,
LaplacianFilter
normally gives an image smaller than
image
.
In
LaplacianFilter
,
data
can be an array of any rank, and can contain symbolic as well as numerical entries.
LaplacianFilter
also accepts a
WorkingPrecision
option.
