The slope draws inspiration from mathematics, where it represents the steepness and direction of a line. In our context, the slope provides us with information about the overall steepness and direction of a slice of an image. It is computed by applying linear regression using an overlapping sliding window of size 7. For each window, we regress the spectral centroids on the column number mod the window size. The following figure shows these features computed on MNIST:

The slope is also defined in the audio domain, where it is known as the spectral slope (Peeters, 2004). In the following ...
