Roberts Cross
The Roberts' Cross operator is used in image processing and computer vision for edge detection. It was one of the first edge detectors and was initially proposed by Lawrence Roberts in 1963. As a differential operator, the idea behind the Robert's Cross operator is to approximate the gradient of an image through discrete differentiation which is achieved by computing the sum of the squares of the differences between diagonally adjacent pixels.

—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“Life is a bridge. Cross over it, but build no house on it.”
