Detect edges (amplitude) using the Robinson operator.
robinson_amp calculates an approximation of the first derivative of the image data and is used as an edge detector. In robinson_amp the following four of the originally proposed eight 3x3 filter masks are convolved with the image. The other four masks are obtained by a multiplication by -1. All masks contain only the values 0,1,-1,2,-2. -1 0 1 2 1 0 -2 0 2 1 0 -1 -1 0 1 0 -1 -2 0 1 2 1 2 1 -1 0 1 0 0 0 -2 -1 0 -1 -2 -1 The result image contains the maximum response of all masks.

robinson_amp always returns TRUE. If the input is empty the behaviour can be set via set_system(::'no_object_result',<Result>:). If necessary, an exception is raised.
