This program can be used to evaluate the first directional derivative of an image. The orientation of the filter can be specified by the user. In general, these filters could be useful for edge detection and image analysis.

The filters created by this program are derived from the "steerable filters" presented in:

W. T. Freeman and E. H. Adelson, "The Design and Use of Steerable Filters", IEEE PAMI, 1991.

A demonstration program (runDemo.m) is included which will create an animation showing the directional derivatives evenly-spaced from 0 degrees to 360 degrees (in 15 degree increments).
