Image feature detection from phase congruency based on two-dimensional Hilbert transform

The theory of phase congruency is that features such as step edges, roofs, and deltas always reach the maximum phase of image harmonic components. We propose a modified algorithm of phase congruency to detect image features based on two-dimensional (2-D) discrete Hilbert transform. Windowing technique is introduced to locate image features in the algorithm. Local energy is obtained by convoluting original image with two operators of removing direct current (DC) component over current window and 2-D Hilbert transform, respectively. Then, local energy is divided with the sum of Fourier amplitude of current window to retrieve the value of phase congruency. Meanwhile, we add the DC component of current window on original image to the denominator of phase congruency model to reduce the noise. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with some existing algorithm in systematical way. The experimental results of images in Berkeley Segmentation Dataset (BSDS) and remotely sensed images show that this algorithm is readily to detect image features.     

基于Hilbert滤波器对的相位一致性边缘检测方法

基于梯度的边缘检测算法，主要是针对阶跃形边缘的检测。Morrone等人提出的基于局部能量和相位一致性的边缘检测方法，则同时适用于阶跃形和屋脊形两类边缘的检测。根据等Q分解原则设计了一组基于Hilbert变换的正交滤波器对，并根据广义相位理论提取滤波后的局部能量和相位信息，在分析了噪声影响和展频处理后，通过计算相位一致性检测图像中的边缘。由于基于相位一致性的边缘检测具有不受光照条件影响，无需计算局部能量极值的特点，因此，在边缘检测的准确率与定位精度上，取得了较好的试验效果。     

Phase congruency induced local features for finger-knuckle-print recognition

Researchers have recently found that the finger-knuckle-print (FKP), which refers to the inherent skin patterns of the outer surface around the phalangeal joint of one’s finger, has high discriminability, making it an emerging promising biometric identifier. Effective feature extraction and matching plays a key role in such an FKP based personal authentication system. This paper studies image local features induced by the phase congruency model, which is supported by strong psychophysical and neurophysiological evidences, for FKP recognition. In the computation of phase congruency, the local orientation and the local phase can also be defined and extracted from a local image patch. These three local features are independent of each other and reflect different aspects of the image local information. We compute efficiently the three local features under the computation framework of phase congruency using a set of quadrature pair filters. We then propose to integrate these three local features by score-level fusion to improve the FKP recognition accuracy. Such kinds of local features can also be naturally combined with Fourier transform coefficients, which are global features. Experiments are performed on the PolyU FKP database to validate the proposed FKP recognition scheme.

The Monogenic Scale Space on a Rectangular Domain and its Features

In this paper we present a novel method to implement the monogenic scale space on a rectangular domain. The monogenic scale space is a vector valued scale space based on the Poisson scale space, which establishes a sophisticated alternative to the Gaussian scale space. Previous implementations of the monogenic scale space are Fourier transform based, and therefore suffer from the implicit periodicity in case of finite domains.The features of the monogenic scale space, including local amplitude, local phase, local orientation, local frequency, and phase congruency, are much easier to interpret in terms of image features evolving through scale than in the Gaussian case. Furthermore, applying results from harmonic analysis, relations between the features are obtained which improve the understanding of image analysis. As applications, we present a very simple but still accurate approach to image reconstruction from local amplitude and local phase and a method for extracting the evolution of lines and edges through scale.Electronic supplementary material Electronic supplementary material is available for this article at and accessible for authorised users.First online version published in June, 2005This work has been supported by DFG Grant FE 583/1-2.

基于Gabor能量空间的尺度不变兴趣点检测方法

兴趣点检测是中层视觉感知过程的关键步骤,也是众多机器视觉系统的重要组成部分.此前的大多数兴趣点检测子都是针对特殊的二维图像结构设计的,比如角点、交叉点、端点等,所以对与其差别较大的特征不能检测.采用在Gabor能量空间中迭代搜索的方法,本文提出了一种尺度不变兴趣点检测子.基于结构不同的二维图像特征在相频域中表现相似的特点,该检测子能检测大多数特征.首先,基于Gabor滤波器响应获得一系列能量图像,通过极值点检测得到候选兴趣点;其次,使用一种迭代方法同时选择特征尺度与精确定位特征点位置;最后为了提高算法的实时性,采用了一种递推方法加速能量图像的计算过程.实验结果表明相对于其它检测子,本文提出的方法具有更广泛的适应性,并且在旋转、尺度、光照等变化下具有良好的稳定性.
