Abstract

Gradient operators allow image segmentation based on edge information. Gradient operators based on chromatic information may avoid apparent edges detection due to illumination effects. This paper proposes the extension of chromatic gradients defined for RGB color images to images with n-dimensional pixels. A spherical coordinate representation of the pixel's content provides the required chromatic information. The paper provides results showing that gradient operators defined on the spherical coordinate representation effectively avoid illumination induced false edge detection.
