Hi nicrey,<br>      see for example the following for a nice introduction to the principle. You many also want to browse the same link from a level<br>up for some very nice lecture notes on the topic by Prof. Romeny <br><a href="http://bmia.bmt.tue.nl/Education/Courses/FEV/book/pdf/05%20Multi-scale%20derivatives%20-%20Implementations.pdf">http://bmia.bmt.tue.nl/Education/Courses/FEV/book/pdf/05%20Multi-scale%20derivatives%20-%20Implementations.pdf</a><br>

Hi ITK Users,<br>
<br>
I want to calculate the gradient of an image. I have used the<br>
&quot;itkGradientRecursiveGaussianImageFilter.h&quot; function. Which is said to<br>
&quot;Compute the gradient of an image by convolution with the first derivative<br>
of a Gaussian&quot; is there any place where I can find the exact formula that<br>
ITK uses to create the &quot;first derivative of the Gaussian&quot; ? without having<br>
to go an look at the code of ITK ?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Nicolas Rey-Villamizar<br>
