Krisch Compass Mask(各个方向的边缘）

Kirsch Compass Mask is also a derivative mask which is used for finding edges. This is also like Robinson compass find edges in all the eight directions of a compass. The only difference between Robinson and kirsch compass masks is that in Kirsch we have a standard mask but in Kirsch we change the mask according to our own requirements.

With the help of Kirsch Compass Masks we can find edges in the following eight directions.

• North

• North West

• West

• South West

• South

• South East

• East

• North East

We take a standard mask which follows all the properties of a derivative mask and then rotate it to find the edges.

For example let’s see the following mask which is in North Direction and then rotate it to make all the direction masks.
