Sobel automatically default to Scharr when kernel size == 3?

From the OpenCV docs:

Sobel is only an approximation of the derivative). OpenCV addresses this inaccuracy for kernels of size 3 by using the Scharr() function.

Does this mean that calling "Sobel()" with a kernel size of 3 will actually call the Scharr() function internally?

so, the answer is:

NO.

IF you want to use the Scharr kernel, specify -1 for the ksize param. else a Sobel kernel of size k is used.

Why two answers ? I can read only one

^^ bug, i'd say. if ppl remove an answer, counter does not decrement
