% imgrad calculates horizontal and vertical gradients.
%
% [Fh Fv Bh Bv] = imgrad(X)
%
%Output parameters:
% Fh: forward horizontal diference
% Fv: forward vertical diference
% Bh: forward horizontal diference
% Bv: forward vertical diference
%
%
%Input parameters:
% X: input image
%
%
%Example:
% X = imread('img.png');
% [Fh Fv] = imgrad(X);
