% DERIVATIVE5 - 5-Tap 1st and 2nd discrete derivatives % % This function computes 1st and 2nd derivatives of an image using the 5-tap % coefficients given by Farid and Simoncelli. The results are significantly % more accurate than MATLAB's GRADIENT function on edges that are at angles % other than vertical or horizontal. This in turn improves gradient orientation % estimation enormously. If you are after extreme accuracy try using DERIVATIVE7. % % Usage: [gx, gy, gxx, gyy, gxy] = derivative5(im, derivative specifiers) % % Arguments: % im - Image to compute derivatives from. % derivative specifiers - A comma separated list of character strings % that can be any of 'x', 'y', 'xx', 'yy' or 'xy' % These can be in any order, the order of the % computed output arguments will match the order % of the derivative specifier strings. % Returns: % Function returns requested derivatives which can be: % gx, gy - 1st derivative in x and y % gxx, gyy - 2nd derivative in x and y % gxy - 1st derivative in y of 1st derivative in x % % Examples: % Just compute 1st derivatives in x and y % [gx, gy] = derivative5(im, 'x', 'y'); % % Compute 2nd derivative in x, 1st derivative in y and 2nd derivative in y % [gxx, gy, gyy] = derivative5(im, 'xx', 'y', 'yy') % % See also: DERIVATIVE7 % Reference: Hany Farid and Eero Simoncelli "Differentiation of Discrete % Multi-Dimensional Signals" IEEE Trans.
