magnitude and direction

how to calculate the magnitude and direction value of the images in matlab?(code)

[Qura]

Hi! I want to construct histogram of gradient magnitude and gradient direction for each image gradient.angle are quantized by 45 Please help

[Junaid]

what do you mean by direction of images. I hope you are talking about gradient value and direction (orientation) ?

[munch kitty]

yes absolutely.but the mag and dir value when we printed it shows for each pixel.i want the values for block by block.

i want to know how to divide image into blocks ????????

[munch kitty]

a=imread('image004.png'); a1=imresize(a,[300,340]);

cbs=100;

ck1=1; cblock(:,:,:,1)=a1(1:100,1:100,:);

cblock(:,:,:,5)=a1(101:200,1:100,:);

cblock(:,:,:,9)=a1(201:300,1:100,:);

for ci1=1:3

ck1=ck1+1;

for cj1=1:3

row1=80 ;

row2=180;

cblock(:,:,:,ck1)=a1( (cbs*(ci1-1)+1:cbs*(ci1-1)+cbs), ((row1+1)+(cj1-1)*80:row2+(cj1-1)*80),:);

ck1=ck1+1;

end

end

we divide the image into 3X4.overlap of some pixels..u can also do non overlapping..

I think you want to compute the SIFT right ?

Anyway to divide the image into blocks, you can use following tip

in case you have difficulty you can share your code.

To find the gradient magnitude and orientation, the following code may help you.

angle = 360;

[GradientX,GradientY] = gradient(double(img));

    Gr = sqrt((GradientX.*GradientX)+(GradientY.*GradientY));

    index = GradientX == 0;
    GradientX(index) = 1e-5;

     YX = GradientY./GradientX;

      A = ((atan2(GradientY,GradientX)+pi)*180)/pi;

A contains the orientation of each pixel.

junaki..the image block was posted above.for taht 12 blocks i have to calculate magnitude and orientation

[mano]

i found the gradient and magnitude but i want to how to found gradient magnitude histogram?if u know help me

[Lee]

Hi Junaid, may I know why parameter YX is calculated?
