Find the vertical edges of an image using the Farid transform.

Parameters:

imagendarray of shape (M, N)

Image to process.

maskndarray of shape (M, N), optional

An optional mask to limit the application to a certain area. Note that pixels surrounding masked regions are also masked to prevent masked regions from affecting the result.

Returns:

outputndarray of shape (M, N) and dtype float

The Farid edge map.

Notes

The kernel was constructed using the 5-tap weights from [1].
