Extension To Other Dimensions
The Sobel operator consist of two separable operations :
- Smoothing perpendicular to the derivative direction with a triangle filter :
- Simple central difference in the derivative direction :
Sobel filters for image derivatives in different dimensions with :
1D:
2D:
3D:
4D:
Thus as an example the 3D Sobel kernel in z-direction:

Famous quotes containing the words extension and/or dimensions:
“We know then the existence and nature of the finite, because we also are finite and have extension. We know the existence of the infinite and are ignorant of its nature, because it has extension like us, but not limits like us. But we know neither the existence nor the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“Is it true or false that Belfast is north of London? That the galaxy is the shape of a fried egg? That Beethoven was a drunkard? That Wellington won the battle of Waterloo? There are various degrees and dimensions of success in making statements: the statements fit the facts always more or less loosely, in different ways on different occasions for different intents and purposes.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
