  | This image has two regions with different orientations. If we use sobel we get an edge for each line If we try to improve this by blurring the image then there won't be any edges. |

|
  | <--- first eigenvalue corresponds to regions that have a dominant direction
second eigenvalue denotes isotropic regions

|
  | This is the estimated angle dominant direction. Its 90 degrees for the right half because all the edges point up, and 0 degrees for the left half | ||
|   | ||||
|
  | This is after sobel, thresholding and non-maximal supression. All edge points are within one point of actual edge. | ||
