RemarksThe OIV.ImageViz.Engines.EdgeDetection.EdgeMarking.SoTensorVotingProcessing2d engine strengthens an image local features according to their consistency with a model of smooth curves.
The computation will use a feature score image and an orientation vector image.
The voting field used assumes that the best connection between two points with one orientation imposes a circular arc that decays with the radius according to a Gaussian function. The voting field size is defined by the parameter "scale".
This voting field can be illustrated on the unit sphere:
Different outputs can be computed by this filter and are selected with the "outputSelection" parameter. Only the outputs necessary to the application can be selected in order to minimize memory and computation time usage.
This filter can provide an output spectral image where each channel represents a tensor component set in the following order 
, 
, 
.
The saliency, ballness and orientation vector images can be extracted from this tensor image following:
Orientation:
Saliency:
Ballness:
The saliency can be interpreted as a measure for the orientation certainty or a measure of anisotropy of the ellipse in orientation given in outVectorImage.
The ballness can be interpreted as a measure for the orientation uncertainty or a measure of isotropy.
The orientation vector image defines the main orientation of the output tensor.
