Gradient Code

Gradient

Direction of the Gradient: Calculating theta

Picking a threshold for the gradient map

Subtract the gradient from the original image display it Detailing on camera

Edge Detection

Sobel approximation to the derivative Filters Lapacian of Gaussian (LoG)

Canny Edge Detector Gaussian filter to smooth image 1 st derivative kernel to detect edges Non-maximal suppression

Median filter B = medfilt2(im) does a median filtering of the image im in two dimensions. Each output pixel contains the median value in the 3 x 3 neighborhood around the corresponding pixel in the input image. It pads the image with zeros on the edges, so the median values for points on the edge of the image may appear darker. Median filtering is most often used to reduce "salt and pepper" noise. A median filter is more effective than convolution when the goal is to simultaneously reduce noise and preserve edges.

Harris Corner Detector Shifting the window in any direction should yield a large change in appearance -aka what happens at a corner!

Code for Harris Corner

Optical Flow (Lucas Kanade with pyramids) Shows the vectors of motion.

Optical Flow (Liu) Found YouTube clip of Olympic diver: Clipped the video into a 3 second clip of just the action of diving Converted the clipped video into a sequence of jpg images Example:

Made a loop in demo flow to run through the sequence of diving images Took the optical flow images and converted them into an animated gif: Olympic Diver:

Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT)

Code (for one image)

Code to collect all images Have to do these 2 pieces of code for every 15 categories

Input images Basic matching using SIFT points
