Abstract

In recent years the Hessian matrix and its eigenvalues became important in pattern recognition. Several algorithms based on the information they provide have been introduced. We recall the relationship between the eigenvalues of Hessian matrix and the 2nd order edge detection filter, show the usefulness of treating them separately and exploit these facts to design a combined threshold operation to generate sparse data sets.
