When applying these Filter-Kernels to an image through __convolution__, you essentially create the derivative of the image. This is because these Kernels result in higher pixel-values in regions, where the image contains a sharp change in brightness (similar to derivatives in analysis). This "derivation" is performed in X- and Y-direction seperately.
