Abstract
A method and system for producing a scalar image from a derivative field and a vector image is disclosed. A function class c is selected, where all members of the class c are functions which map each vector of the vector image to a unique scalar value. A function f is selected from the class c which maps the vector image to a scalar image, the derivative of which is closest to the derivative field. The scalar image is generated from the vector image by using f to calculate each scalar value in the scalar image from a corresponding vector in the vector image.
