# Gradient
|
||
|
||
Compute the spatial gradient using a Sobel operator. Outputs the gradient magnitude, x-component, y-component, or azimuthal direction.
|
||
|
||
## Inputs
|
||
|
||
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|
||
|------|------|----------|-------------|
|
||
| field | DATA_FIELD | Yes | Input field |
|
||
|
||
## Outputs
|
||
|
||
| Name | Type | Description |
|
||
|------|------|-------------|
|
||
| gradient | DATA_FIELD | Gradient output in the selected component |
|
||
|
||
## Controls
|
||
|
||
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|
||
|------|------|---------|-------------|
|
||
| component | dropdown | magnitude | Output component: magnitude (√(gx²+gy²)), x (horizontal gradient), y (vertical gradient), or azimuth (angle in degrees) |
|
||
|
||
## Limitations
|
||
|
||
- Gradient components are in units of z_unit/xy_unit; azimuth is in degrees.
|
||
- Sobel operator uses a 3×3 kernel; sub-pixel features smaller than one pixel cannot be resolved.
