Schematic of Frangi's filter detection principle. The modified version of Frangi's filter can detect plate-like, tube-like and sphere-like objects by comparing the relative sizes of the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix of an image dataset. Larger eigenvalues suggest that local image brightness is not aligned in the direction of the corresponding eigenvector. (Online version in colour.)
