I am looking for more documentation around the Sobel function arguments but I have been unable to find. Here is what I am after: This tutorial http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/doc/tutori... calls :

   Sobel( src_gray, grad_x, ddepth, 1, 0, 3, scale, delta, BORDER_DEFAULT );

I understand src_gray, grad_x . What is ddepth for . What are the arguments 1,0, 3. What is scale and delta and BORDER_DEFAULT. I am unable to find this in the documentation anywhere.

A simple search in the documentation gave me this http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/modules/im...

scale is the scaling factor for the computed derivatives while delta is the delta that can be added to the output image before it is stored. borderType should be the way the border pixels are extrapolated(I'm not a 100% sure on this)

Thanks. Any idea what it means "delta is the delta that can be added to the output image"

Delta is usually used in math to refer to a change in value e.g x +/- delta
