matlab实现:

function [mdex] = MainDirec(a)
% function: the main direction of the image
% description: the direction edge is [0,180],and the direction are divided
%              to 18 part by 10,
% output: the index of the direction ,form 1 to 18;where 1 is defined as the
% direction belong to[0,18],the rest can be done in the same manner,18
% derecting to [170,180]
