Abstract

A system and method use 2D and 3D numerical gradient operators for reducing anisotropic inaccuracies in digital image processing. Enhanced isotropic operators are derived by first parameterizing corresponding numerical operators, followed by determining the parameters for the operators by matching analytical gradients with numerical gradients, which produces generic frequency-independent operators. The system and method also optimize the design of operators for use at any given frequency range needed for any special purpose application.
