Abstract
A method for deriving a representation of an image is described. The method involves processing signals corresponding to the image. A three dimensional representation of the image is derived. The three dimensional representation of the image to used to derive the representation of the image. In one embodiment, each line of the image is defined by a first parameter (d) and a second parameter (θ), and a position on each line is defined by a third parameter (t), and the three dimensional representation is parameterized by the first, second and third parameters. A set of values is extracted from the three dimensional representation at a value of the first parameter, and a functional is applied along lines, or parts of lines, of the extracted set of values, the lines extending along values of the second or third parameter.
