Roof Edge Detection Statistics

Description

Compute the difference between two one-sided gradient estimates.

Usage

   roofDiff(image, bandwidth, blur)

Arguments

image	A square matrix, no missing value allowed.
bandwidth	A positive integer that specifies the number of pixels to use in the local smoothing.
blur	If blur = TRUE, besides the conventional 2-D kernel function, a univariate kernel function is used to address the issue of blur.

Details

At each pixel, the second-order derivarives (i.e., f''_{xx}, f''_{xy} and f''_{yy}) are estimated by a local quadratic kernel smoothing procedure. Next, the local neighborhood is first divided into two halves along the direction perpendicular to (\widehat{f}''_{xx}, \widehat{f}''_{xy}). Then the one-sided estimates of f'_{x+} and f'_{x-} are obtained respectively by local linear kernel smoothing. The estimates of f'_{y+} and f'_{y-} are obtained by the same procedure except that the neighborhood is divided along the direction perpendicular to (\widehat{f}''_{xy}, \widehat{f}''_{yy}).

Value

A matrix where each entry is the maximum of the differences: |\widehat{f}_{x+} - \widehat{f}_{x-}| and |\widehat{f}_{y+} - \widehat{f}_{y-}| at each pixel location.
