Hi all!
I have a discrete 2D vector field with a particular characteristic: At every point, instead of having a single vector, I have two vectors which are in the opposite direction. For example, at point p(x,y)=p(0,0) I have two vectors: v1(1,1) and v2(-1,-1). And so on for all points.
I understand this becomes an "eigenvector field" situation, or a "tensor field", or "symmetric tensor field" situation.
At the end, I wish to find the so called "degenerate points" (refer to Delmarcelle, Hasselink 1993).
But first, I wish to translate these two vectors on a single point to a 2x2 tensor representation, such that T(point)=[T11(x,y) T12(x,y) ; T12(x,y) T22(x,y)].
Summarizing,
Given, two symmetric vectors at a point, v1(point)=[x1;y1] and v2(point)=[x2;y2], such that v2(point)=(-1)*v1(point) represent them in tensor form T(point)=[T11(x,y) T12(x,y) ; T12(x,y) T22(x,y)].
Much appreciated!
