Image SXM
Calculates the local gradient at each pixel of the image and creates a stack of two images, the first displaying the magnitude of the gradient (0°-90°) and the second the uphill direction (0°-360°) relative to a chosen cardinal point. Moving the cursor over the first image produces a display in the Info window of both the gradient and direction. The number of neighbouring pixels used to calculate the gradient can be set (from 1 up to half of the smallest dimension of the ROI). If a ROI is too close to the edge of the image to calculate a slope over the number of pixels specified, then the ROI will be reduced in size as necessary. Press the option key to bypass the dialog box.
