Adding an example of a “window function” commonly used.
Interpretation: Adding hats to the eigenvectors to express that they are unitary vectors.

===Interpretation===
As in the three-dimensional case, the eigenvalues <math>\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3</math> of <math>S_w[p]</math>, and the corresponding eigenvectors <math>e_1\hat{e}_1,e_2\hat{e}_2,e_3\hat{e}_3</math>, summarize the distribution of gradient directions within the neighborhood of ''p'' defined by the window <math>w</math>. This information can be visualized as an [[ellipsoid]] whose semi-axes are equal to the eigenvalues and directed along their corresponding eigenvectors.<ref name="Medioni"/>
