SharpenImg

DESCRIPTION

Computes a edge-enhanced image by convolving with a sharpening kernel. The sharpening kernel is based upon the circular kernel used in BlurImg, but with different weights. The weight for all "count" of the kernel elements inside the circle is -Sharpen, except for the center, which gets a weight of

1 + Sharpen * (count - 1)

so that the weights sum to unity. Sharpen must lie in the range [0..1]. This edge detection method is described in:
