A quick divergence to the cutest Laplacian in the world.

Let $\mathbf{u}=(u_1, u_2)$ be a vector valued function. Then the divergence operator: $\mbox{div }\mathbf{u}:=\frac{du_1}{dx}+\frac{du_2}{dx}$ is a very useful thing to have on our side. Again, I will leave this little code upto you. It is really a one liner!

Note, that if $\nabla u=(u_x, u_y)$ then $\mbox{div}(\nabla u)$ gives the Laplacian $\Delta u$ of the image $u$. This could be useful.

Here is the Laplacian of Boo displayed between -50 to 50.
i.e. use the commands to display the Laplacian d :
>> m=-50; M=50; figure; imshow((d-m)/(M-m));

Laplacian of Boo (-50 to 50)


Here is the original.
