Light areas indicate higher pixel values A blue and green color gradient. An image gradient is a directional change in the intensity or color in an image. The gradient of the image is one of the fundamental building blocks in image processing. For example, the Canny edge detector uses image gradient for edge detection.
This gradient can then be manipulated directly to produce several different effects when the resulting image is solved for. For example, if a uniform constant scales the gradient, it results in a simple sharpening filter. A better sharpening filter can be made by only scaling the gradient in areas deemed important. [2]
Gradient vector flow (GVF), a computer vision framework introduced by Chenyang Xu and Jerry L. Prince, [1] [2] is the vector field that is produced by a process that smooths and diffuses an input vector field. It is usually used to create a vector field from images that points to object edges from a distance.
At each point in the image, the result of the Prewitt operator is either the corresponding gradient vector or the norm of this vector. The Prewitt operator is based on convolving the image with a small, separable, and integer valued filter in horizontal and vertical directions and is therefore relatively inexpensive in terms of computations ...
A top Federal Reserve official said Monday that he is leaning toward supporting an interest rate cut when the Fed meets in two weeks but that evidence of persistent inflation before then could ...
Local minima of the gradient of the image may be chosen as markers, in this case an over-segmentation is produced and a second step involves region merging. Marker based watershed transformation make use of specific marker positions which have been either explicitly defined by the user or determined automatically with morphological operators or ...
LONDON/SYDNEY (Reuters) -The U.S. dollar was poised for a big weekly gain on Friday, towering near one-year highs as a hawkish turn from the Federal Reserve chief sent short-term Treasury yields ...
The trial triggered protests across France and beyond. In September, weeks after it began, feminists gathered in dozens of cities, including Paris, where thousands of people gathered at the Place ...
