GaussianGradientTensor2d

Computes a pointwise structure tensor on a two-dimensional image.

Access to parameter description

This algorithm computes the local structure tensor $\begin{pmatrix} I_x.I_x & I_x.I_y\\ I_x.I_y & I_y.I_y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} I_x\\ I_y\end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} I_x & I_y\end{pmatrix}$ by convolving the input image with the square first order derivatives of a Gaussian kernel.

Each element of the structure tensor represents a product of two partial derivatives
For instance, $I_x.I_x = \frac{\partial I}{\partial x}\cdot\frac{\partial I}{\partial x}$, $I_x.I_y = \frac{\partial I}{\partial x}\cdot\frac{\partial I}{\partial y}$.
The partial derivatives are computed as explained in the GaussianDerivative2d documentation.

This filter provides a spectral image output where each channel represents a tensor element; for instance, a product of two partial derivatives, set in the following order: $I_x.I_x$, $I_x.I_y$, $I_y.I_y$.
To extract the eigenvalues or vectors of the tensor image the EigenDecomposition2d can be applied on this output image.
