Common edge-detection filters in convolutional neural networks

Edge-detection filter matrices, also called kernels, detect changes between neighboring image regions. Vertical-edge kernels detect vertical boundaries, while horizontal-edge kernels detect horizontal boundaries. For vertical-edge detection, the Sobel filter gives greater weight to pixels in the central rows, which may make it more robust.
