Color Dierential Structure

The scale-space approach to the dierential structure of color images was recently introduced by Geusebroek et al. (1,2), based on the pioneering work of Koenderink's Gaussian derivative color model (5). To master this theory faster, we present the theory as a practical implemen- tation in the computer algebra package Mathematica for the extraction of color dierential structure. Many examples are given, the practical code examples enable easy extensive experimentation. High level pro- gramming is now fast: all examples run with 5-15 seconds on typical images on a typical modern PC.
