The structure of images has been studied for decades and the use of local structure tensor fields appeared during the eighties [3, 14, 6, 9, 11]. Since then numerous varieties of tensors and estimation schemes have been developed. Tensors have for instance been used to represent orientation [7], velocity, curvature [2] and diffusion [19] with applications to adaptive filtering [8], motion analysis [10] and segmentation [17]. Even though sampling in non-Cartesian coordinate system are common, analysis and processing of local structure tensor fields in such systems is less developed. Previous work on local structure in non-Cartesian coordinate systems include [21, 16, 1, 18].
