The Diary Of The Rose
"The Diary of the Rose" is a 1976 dystopian science fiction novelette by Ursula K. Le Guin, first published in the ''Future Power'' collection. The tale is set in a totalitarian society which uses brainwashing by "electroshocks" to eradicate any kind of political dissent. Plot The story is the diary of "psychoscopist" Dr. Rosa Sobel, hired by state security to probe the mind of Flores Sorde for signs of "political psychosis", using a brain-mapping device called a psychoscope. Conversations with Sorde eventually lead to the political awakening of Dr. Sobel. Commentary The concept of "political psychosis" can be compared with Orwellian "thoughtcrimes". Some critics link the novelette with the Orsinian cycle. However, in the introduction to the collection ''Where on Earth'' Ursula Le Guin remarked that, while the protagonist has an Orsinian name, she would rather think that the events took place in South America rather than in Orsinia.As cited in: When asked in an interview ab ...

Sobel Operator
The Sobel operator, sometimes called the Sobel–Feldman operator or Sobel filter, is used in image processing and computer vision, particularly within edge detection algorithms where it creates an image emphasising edges. It is named after Irwin Sobel and Gary M. Feldman, colleagues at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL). Sobel and Feldman presented the idea of an "Isotropic 3 × 3 Image Gradient Operator" at a talk at SAIL in 1968.Irwin Sobel, 2014''History and Definition of the Sobel Operator''/ref> Technically, it is a discrete differentiation operator, computing an approximation of the gradient of the image intensity function. At each point in the image, the result of the Sobel–Feldman operator is either the corresponding gradient vector or the norm of this vector. The Sobel–Feldman operator is based on convolving the image with a small, separable, and integer-valued filter in the horizontal and vertical directions and is therefore relativ ...
