jit.sobel
Description
jit.sobel provides two different kinds of edge detection algorithms.
Examples

Discussion
Both implemented edge detection modes use 3x3 convolution kernels to compute a 2-dimensional spatial gradient of an incoming matrix, brightening features with "high spatial frequency" -- a large amount of change from cell to cell -- and darkening features with less change. The Sobel detector is fairly good at detecting edges in all directions, while the Prewitt is more biased toward edges running vertically and horizontally along the matrix frame.
