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:

    No man ever stood lower in my estimation for having a patch in his clothes; yet I am sure that there is greater anxiety, commonly, to have fashionable, or at least clean and unpatched clothes, than to have a sound conscience.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
    Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
    And as imagination bodies forth
    The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
    Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
    A local habitation and a name.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Our ego ideal is precious to us because it repairs a loss of our earlier childhood, the loss of our image of self as perfect and whole, the loss of a major portion of our infantile, limitless, ain’t-I-wonderful narcissism which we had to give up in the face of compelling reality. Modified and reshaped into ethical goals and moral standards and a vision of what at our finest we might be, our dream of perfection lives on—our lost narcissism lives on—in our ego ideal.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)

    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)
