Irwin Sobel is a prominent figure in the field of computer science and engineering, particularly known for his contributions to image processing and computer vision. He is best known for developing the Sobel operator, a widely used technique for edge detection in images. The Sobel operator uses convolution with specific kernels to highlight regions of an image where there are significant intensity changes, which usually correspond to edges.
