Orientation (computer Vision) - Estimation of Local Image Orientation

Estimation of Local Image Orientation

A number of methods have been proposed for computing or estimating an orientation representation from image data. These include

  • Quadrature filter based methods
  • The structure tensor
  • Using a local polynomial approximation
  • The Energy tensor
  • The Boundary tensor

The first approach can be used both for the double angle representation (only 2D images) and the tensor representation, and the other methods compute a tensor representation of local orientation.

Famous quotes containing the words estimation, local, image and/or orientation:

    A higher class, in the estimation and love of this city- building, market-going race of mankind, are the poets, who, from the intellectual kingdom, feed the thought and imagination with ideas and pictures which raise men out of the world of corn and money, and console them for the short-comings of the day, and the meanness of labor and traffic.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.
    —Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961)

    [Madness] is the jail we could all end up in. And we know it. And watch our step. For a lifetime. We behave. A fantastic and entire system of social control, by the threat of example as effective over the general population as detention centers in dictatorships, the image of the madhouse floats through every mind for the course of its lifetime.
    Kate Millett (b. 1934)

    Institutions of higher education in the United States are products of Western society in which masculine values like an orientation toward achievement and objectivity are valued over cooperation, connectedness and subjectivity.
    Yolanda Moses (b. 1946)
