Abstract:
Accurate extraction of the image feature directions is essential to image smoothing and other image processing tasks. We show that the gradient-based feature direction extraction method can be very erroneous. The gradient is too local, and it cannot detect oscillations. We have developed two new methods: the Hessian method, an approach using higher order differentiations, and the Gabor (1946) method, an approach using space-frequency analysis
