Appendix G

The Gradient Method

This appendix is related to Chapter 4. Let us consider the specific case of a single-coefficient gradient based filter:

From Figure G.1, we see that the derivative images is positive. Our task now is to update the filter coefficient using the term images.

Note that if the derivative is negative, images is positive and the value HN(k–1) increases.
