梯度是一个量变化的速度，在数学中通常使用求导、求偏导获取梯度或者某一方向上的梯度。
在数字图像中梯度可以看为像素值分别在x,y方向上的变化速度，因为数字图像的离散型，以及像素是最小处理单元的特性，求数字图像的梯度时，不需要求导，只需要进行加减运算即可。(其实就是求导的差分近似形式).如下图所示：

一、sobel 算子

Sobel算子包含两组 3 ∗ 3的矩阵，分别为横向及纵向模板，将之与图像作平面卷积，即可分别得出横向及纵向的亮度差分近似值。下面是$G_x$ 和$G_y$的模板。
$$G_x=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}+1& 0& -1\\ +2& 0& -2\\ +1& 0& -1\end{array}\right]\ast A$$

$$G_y=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}+1& +2& +1\\ 0& 0& 0\\ -1& -2& -1\end{array}\right]\ast A$$
如上式，$G_x$与$G_y$分别表示对图像A进行横向和纵向梯度检测得到的结果。
取二者平方和即可得到图像上每一点的梯度值，即在该点同时计算$x$方向与$y$方向的梯度。
$$G=\sqrt{G_x^2+G_y^2}$$
该点的梯度方向可以通过取这两个值的比的反正切$arctan$得到：
$$\Theta =arctan\left(\frac{G_y}{G_x}\right)$$
实现代码如下：

def SobelX(img,threshold):height = img.shape[0]width = img.shape[1]G_x = np.array([[-1, 0, 1], [-2, 0, 2], [-1, 0, 1]])result = np.zeros(img.shape)for i in range(0, width - 2):for j in range(0, height - 2):v = np.sum(G_x * img[i:i + 3, j:j + 3])result[i,j] =vif(result[i,j]<threshold):result[i,j]=0return result
def SobelY(img,threshold):height = img.shape[0]width = img.shape[1]G_y = np.array([[-1, -2, -1], [0, 0, 0], [1, 2, 1]])result = np.zeros(img.shape)for i in range(0, width - 2):for j in range(0, height - 2):h = np.sum(G_y * img[i:i + 3, j:j + 3])result[i,j] =hif(result[i,j]<threshold):result[i,j]=0return resultdef Sobel(img,threshold):height = img.shape[0]width = img.shape[1]G_x = np.array([[-1, 0, 1], [-2, 0, 2], [-1, 0, 1]])G_y = np.array([[-1, -2, -1], [0, 0, 0], [1, 2, 1]])result = np.zeros(img.shape)for i in range(0, width - 2):for j in range(0, height - 2):v = np.sum(G_x * img[i:i + 3, j:j + 3])h = np.sum(G_y * img[i:i + 3, j:j + 3])result[i,j] = np.sqrt((v ** 2) + (h ** 2))if(result[i,j]<threshold):result[i,j]=0return result

检测结果如下：

二、Scharr算子

Scharr算子是Sobel算子的一种特殊形式。其核的形式如下：
$$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}+3& 0& -3\\ +10& 0& -10\\ +3& 0& -3\end{array}\right]$$
$$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3& -10& -3\\ 0& 0& 0\\ +3& +10& +3\end{array}\right]$$
前面提到了，Sobel算子中核越大就能够更好的近似导数，准确度也更高。因此，在核比较小时如3×3时，Sobel核的准确度较差，使用Scharr算子代替3×3的Sobel核能够提高精度。因为加大了在x方向或y方向的权重，使得梯度角(梯度方向)不会距离x或y方向太远，因此误差也不会太大。例如，只求x方向的梯度时，核的中心点的x方向的两个权值远大于其它权值，这使得求得的梯度更靠近x方向，一定程度减小了误差。

def Scharr(img,threshold):height = img.shape[0]width = img.shape[1]G_x = np.array([[-3, 0, 3], [-10, 0, 10], [-3, 0, 3]])G_y = np.array([[-3, -10, -3], [0, 0, 0], [3, 10, 3]])result = np.zeros(img.shape)for i in range(0, width - 2):for j in range(0, height - 2):v = np.sum(G_x * img[i:i + 3, j:j + 3])h = np.sum(G_y * img[i:i + 3, j:j + 3])result[i,j] = np.sqrt((v ** 2) + (h ** 2))if(result[i,j]<threshold):result[i,j]=0return result

检测结果：

三、Roberts算子

$$\left[\begin{array}{cc}-1& 0\\ 0& 1\end{array}\right]$$
$$\left[\begin{array}{cc}0& -1\\ 1& 0\end{array}\right]$$

Roberts算子的核如上图所示，是一种简单的交叉差分算法，在求±45°的梯度时最有效。
相比于一般的水平竖直方向的差分算子，Roberts算子能够有效地保留边缘的角点，并且计算速度较快。缺点是对细节敏感导致对噪声也十分敏感。
实现代码：

def Roberts(img,threshold):height = img.shape[0]width = img.shape[1]G_x = np.array([[-1, 0], [0,1]])G_y = np.array([[0, -1], [1,0]])result = np.zeros(img.shape)for i in range(0, width - 1):for j in range(0, height - 1):v = np.sum(G_x * img[i:i + 2, j:j + 2])h = np.sum(G_y * img[i:i + 2, j:j + 2])result[i,j] = np.sqrt((v ** 2) + (h ** 2))if(result[i,j]<threshold):result[i,j]=0return result

检测结果如下：

四、拉普拉斯算子

拉普拉斯算子可由二阶导数定义：
$${\Delta }^2(x,y)=\frac{{\partial }^{2}f(x,y)}{\partial x^2}+\frac{{\partial }^{2}f(x,y)}{\partial y^2}$$
而在数字图像中离散化，用二阶差分表示为：
$$\begin{array}{r}\begin{array}{rl}\frac{{\partial }^{2}f(x,y)}{\partial x^2}& \approx {\Delta }_{x}f(i+1,j)-{\Delta }_{x}f(i,j)\\ & =\left[f(i+1,j)-f(i,j)\right]-\left[f(i,j)-f(i-1,j)\right]\\ & =f(i+1,j)+f(i-1,j)-2f(i,j)\end{array}\end{array}$$
同理可得：
$$\frac{{\partial }^{2}f(x,y)}{\partial y^2}\approx f(i,j+1)+f(i,j-1)-2f(i,j)$$
所以拉普拉斯算子可以表示为：
$${\Delta }^2(x,y)=f(i+1,j)+f(i-1,j)+f(i,j+1)+f(i,j-1)-4f(i,j)$$
其卷积核如下：
$$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0& 1& 0\\ 1& -4& 1\\ 0& 1& 0\end{array}\right]$$
拉普拉斯算子法其实是一种图像边缘增强算子，常用于图像锐化，在增强边缘的同时也增强了噪声，因此使用前需要进行平滑或滤波处理。如下图，可以看出，在函数值发生突变的情况时，二阶导数能够增强突变点与其两侧的对比度。在数字图像中就是图像边缘处得到了增强，因此实现了图像的锐化。

代码实现如下：

def Laplacian(img):temLaplacian = np.array([[0, 1, 0], [1, -4, 1], [0, 1, 0]])height, width = img.shape[::-1]result = np.zeros(img.shape)for i in range(0, width - 2):for j in range(0, height - 2):result[i][j] = np.abs(np.sum(temLaplacian * img[i:i + 3, j:j + 3]))return result

检测结果如下：
