Abstract
Instead of evaluating the gradient field of the brightness map of an image, we propose the use of dipole vectors. This approach is obtained by adapting to the image gray-tone distribution the definition of the dipole moment of charge distributions. We will show how to evaluate the dipoles and obtain a vector field, which can be a good alternative to the gradient field in pattern recognition.
