Roberts Cross operator performs a simple, quick to compute, 2-D spatial gradient measurement on an image.
We can show that the Roberts Cross operator is more sensitive to noise than, for example, the Sobel operator if we apply the Sobel operator to the same noisy image.
There is a slight ambiguity in the output of the Roberts operator as to which pixel in the output corresponds to which pixel in the input, since technically the operator measures the gradient intensity at the point where four pixels meet.

Roberts allows a jury to hear evidence, untested by the adversary process, based on a mere judicial determination of reliability, thus replacing the constitutionally prescribed method of assessing reliability with a wholly foreign one.

 10/06/97 Karl Roberts, Plaintiff/ v. Unidynamics Corporation,
Roberts emphasizes his appearance as pivotal in Crane's perception of him, but the fact that several co-workers testified to their observations of Roberts' physical condition is insufficient to permit an inference that Roberts' supervisors regarded him as having HIV or AIDS.

Roberts asserts that Monehan was nearby when a co-worker made a joke suggesting that Roberts had AIDS, but his two-tiered assumption that Monehan might have heard the joke and that hearing such a joke caused him to believe Roberts had HIV or AIDS is mere speculation insufficient to support a finding of discrimination.

 County of Durham v
Following the granting of the preliminary injunction, Sheila Roberts filed a motion on 24 November 1998 to modify the preliminary injunction to allow her to finish the two ponds on the site and have the extracted dirt transported to the landfill site.
In his answer, Luther Roberts claimed the site was a "local historic site and [had] been used primarily for farming and agricultural purposes for decades." He contended the site was therefore exempt from the zoning ordinance because he was carrying on a bona fide farming and/or agricultural activity.
By her first and only cross-assignment of error, Sheila Roberts argues the trial court erred in concluding as a matter of law that the removal and excavation of soil constitutes "resource extraction" as that term is described under the Durham Zoning Ordinance.

Roberts Cross was the first technique used and is thus the fasted and simplest to implement.
Sobel edge detection is similar to the Roberts Cross approach in that both use two kernels to convolve an image, where the second kernel is simply a 90 degree rotation of the first kernel [1].
Roberts Cross is, however, the simplest and fastest edge detection algorithm.

 Feature Detectors - Sobel Edge Detector
These kernels are designed to respond maximally to edges running vertically and horizontally relative to the pixel grid, one kernel for each of the two perpendicular orientations.
The Sobel operator is slower to compute than the Roberts Cross operator, but its larger convolution kernel smooths the input image to a greater extent and so makes the operator less sensitive to noise.
Note that the spurious noise that afflicted the Roberts Cross output image is still present in this image, but its intensity relative to the genuine lines has been reduced, and so there is a good chance that we can get rid of this entirely by thresholding.
