ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method is provided for generating a quality field representation of a collection of image data. The method includes receiving the collection of image data and identifying a target point along a ridge in the collection of image data. A directional field representation is estimated by assigning an angle value to the ridge indicative of an angle with respect to a reference line. Also, a covariance between the target point and a corresponding point along a line orthogonal to the angle value is calculated.
