abstract     :
In this paper we propose an elementary operation on a pair of vector fields as a building block for defining and computing global line­type features of vector or scalar fields.
While usual feature definitions often are procedural and therefore implicit, our operator allows precise mathematical definitions.
It can serve as a basis for comparing feature definitions and for reuse of algorithms and implementations.
Applications focus on vortex core methods.
