M. Azaria et al., THE DESIGN OF 2-DIMENSIONAL GRADIENT ESTIMATORS BASED ON ONE-DIMENSIONAL OPERATORS, IEEE transactions on image processing, 5(1), 1996, pp. 155-159
A computational procedure for the extension of one-dimensional (1-D) g
radient estimators to two dimensions (2-D) is presented. The procedure
is equivalent to the surface fitting method. It is, however, simpler
in design, as the design is I-D rather than 2-D. Higher order derivati
ve estimators can also be constructed by the same procedure.
