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:
“Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
“Parents ought, through their own behavior and the values by which they live, to provide direction for their children. But they need to rid themselves of the idea that there are surefire methods which, when well applied, will produce certain predictable results. Whatever we do with and for our children ought to flow from our understanding of and our feelings for the particular situation and the relation we wish to exist between us and our child.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
