Hi, Why are we returning the absolute values in the hsobel and vsobel functions? I do not see the benefit. Johannes

Is it what the "reference" implementation returns? Either way the sign is valuable info. +1 for returning the actual filter output. On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 11:25 AM, Johannes Schoenberger <jsch@demuc.de> wrote:

How about establishing a pipeline between a linear ridge detector and alignment of the sobels accordingly to the found ridge? Would be a nice example maybe? Michael On Wednesday, November 19, 2014 4:25:39 PM UTC-8, Johannes Schönberger wrote:

@Michael That sounds like a cool example. Would you be willing to code that? On Thursday, November 20, 2014 6:01:04 PM UTC-5, Michael Aye wrote:
