Sobel Operator is based on the fact that in the edge area, the pixel intensity shows a "jump" or a high variation of intensity. Getting the first derivative of the intensity, we observed that an edge is characterized by a maximum.

The second derivative can also be used to detect edges. Since images are "2D", we would need to take the derivative in both dimensions. Here, the Laplacian operator comes handy.

This is done when ksize > 1. When ksize = 1, the Laplacian is computed by filtering the image with the following 3×3 aperture:

The Laplacian operator is implemented in OpenCV by the function Laplacian() . In fact, since the Laplacian uses the gradient of images, it calls internally the Sobel operator to perform its computation.

 

dst=cv.Laplacian(src, ddepth[, dst[, ksize[, scale[, delta[, borderType]]]]])

src	Source image.
dst	Destination image of the same size and the same number of channels as src .
ddepth	Desired depth of the destination image.
ksize	Aperture size used to compute the second-derivative filters.  The size must be positive and odd.
scale	Optional scale factor for the computed Laplacian values. By default, no scaling is applied.
delta	Optional delta value that is added to the results prior to storing them in dst .
borderType	Pixel extrapolation method, see BorderTypes
