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)

    The hero was distinguished by his achievement; the celebrity by his image or trademark. The hero created himself; the celebrity is created by the media. The hero was a big man; the celebrity is a big name.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    Every orientation presupposes a disorientation.
    Hans Magnus Enzensberger (b. 1929)
