Laplacian Filter


The Laplacian Filter calculates the local second derivative of image values at each point in the image. This filter is used to calculate the strength of edges and discontinuities for features in the image. Different filter types calculate the Laplacian value using a different local neighborhood description. To calculate the directional gradient, or directional first derivative, see the Gradient Filter.
