    Newbie question: Algebra of Mahalanobis distance

    Hello, The Mahalanobis distance or rather its square is defined as : (X-\mu)^2/\Sigma which is then written as (X-\mu)^{T} Ʃ^{-1}(X-\mu) Ʃ is the covariance matrix. My silly question is why is the sigma placed in the middle of the dot product of the (X-μ) vector with itself. I am...

    Differentiation with convolution operators

    Hello, I have really been banging my head the whole day and trying to figure this derivative out. I have a function of the following form: F = W * (I.J(t)) - (W * I).(W*J(t)) where I and J are two images. J depends on some transformation parameters t and W is a gaussian kernel with some fixed...

    A basic question about computing this derivative

    Hello, This is my first post and I must emphasise that I do not have a science/maths training background and this might be a very basic question. I apologise if it is too basic to belong here. I have a function defined as follows: E(I,J) = \int CC_{p}(I,J)dp Just a little context, I...
