01165		comp cost in terms of N pt support N=nxn
01170		lower bound in cost is k*N arith operations, where k≥2 to
01175			get several moments to find directionality
01180		example k=2, N=8x8 implies 128 arith operations per application
01185		include the effect of applying every bth pixel
01190		allows directly nxn parellelism
01195		
01200		sensitivity
01205		contrast required for 50% false negatives at an edge
01210		for 5% false positives at no edge
01215		signal=(N/2)*h
01220		noise=sqrt(N)*sigma
01225		cutoff threshold: signal = 2* noise
01230		(N/2)*h=2*sqrt(N)*sigma
01235		contrast h = 4*sigma/sqrt(N)
01240		account for a variety of directions by including a factor of sqrt(2)
01245			for vertical and horizontal directions.
01250		Thus the optimal is approximately h = 4*sqrt(2)*sigma/sqrt(N)
01255			or for a 6x6 support, h ≥ .9*sigma
01260		The Hueckel operator gives h = 1.4*sigma
01265		Thus, the Hueckel operator is not terribly far from optimal,
01270		and not much is to be gained by improvements in sensitivity.
