Relation To Gradients
In image processing, the computation of the local image gradient is a common operation, e.g., for edge detection. If above is an edge, then its gradient is parallel to . As is already discussed above the gradient is not a unique representation of orientation. Also, in the case of a local region which is centered on a line, the image gradient is approximately zero. However, in this case the vector is still well-defined except for its sign. Therefore, is a more appropriate starting point for defining local orientation than the image gradient.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:
“Concord is just as idiotic as ever in relation to the spirits and their knockings. Most people here believe in a spiritual world ... in spirits which the very bullfrogs in our meadows would blackball. Their evil genius is seeing how low it can degrade them. The hooting of owls, the croaking of frogs, is celestial wisdom in comparison.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Our sympathy is cold to the relation of distant misery.”
—Edward Gibbon (1737–1794)
