The gradient of the image is calculated for each pixel position in the image.
The procedure and the MATLAB code for sobel edge detection without using MATLAB built-in function:
MATLAB CODE:
A=imread('peppers.png');
B=rgb2gray(A);
C=double(B);
for i=1:size(C,1)-2
for j=1:size(C,2)-2
%Sobel mask for x-direction:
Gx=((2*C(i+2,j+1)+C(i+2,j)+C(i+2,j+2))-(2*C(i,j+1)+C(i,j)+C(i,j+2)));
%Sobel mask for y-direction:
Gy=((2*C(i+1,j+2)+C(i,j+2)+C(i+2,j+2))-(2*C(i+1,j)+C(i,j)+C(i+2,j)));
%The gradient of the image
%B(i,j)=abs(Gx)+abs(Gy);
B(i,j)=sqrt(Gx.^2+Gy.^2);
end
end
