SobelEdgeDetector (DMLab Library API for 0.0.4-SNAPSHOT)

java.lang.Object
- edu.gsu.cs.dmlab.imageproc.edgedetection.detectors.GaussianEdgeDetector
- - edu.gsu.cs.dmlab.imageproc.edgedetection.detectors.SobelEdgeDetector

```
public class SobelEdgeDetector
extends GaussianEdgeDetector
```
This class detects the edges of grayscale images using Sobel convolution kernel.
Note: The final matrix of edges is slightly smaller than the original image. The difference depends on the size of the kernel matrix.
