Abstract

In this note we shall develop a simple, effective algorithm to estimate the first and the second partial derivatives for 2D digital data points. First, we shall follow the ideas given in Chen, Chi and Wu (2005) to define the discrete gradient of a function on a 2D digital data. Our method will work for boundary points. This will allow us shall define the Laplace operator acting on functions on the 2D digital data. Some numerical results will be presented to show our algorithm is very accurate.
