基于多尺度结构特征的快速异源图像匹配

针对异源图像提出一种基于多尺度密集结构特征的快速匹配算法。算法首先利用Gabor滤波器逐像素提取图像中的结构响应,再根据主方向响应对多尺度结构特征融合,然后使用快速傅里叶变换在频域计算各特征分量图像之间的卷积,最后将卷积生成的系数矩阵求和计算出图像之间的相似性并选择相似性最大位置作为匹配结果输出。本文算法能有效适应异源图像间的非线性灰度变化和噪声干扰问题。测试使用可见光、红外、雷达图像组成的异源图像数据集对本文算法和现有算法进行测试比较,结果表明:本文算法的平均误匹配率最低,并且计算速度有明显优势。     

Super-resolution spectral analysis and signal reconstruction of magnetic Barkhausen noise

An investigation was performed based on frequency domain analysis and reconstruction for the magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN). The power spectrum density (PSD) of MBN was analyzed based on autoregressive (AR) model. The relations between PSD peaks and mechanical properties of high strength steel sheet were studied. The energy of low frequency signal components decreases as hardness increases, and increases as tensile stress increases. The energy of high frequency signal components increases as hardness increases, and decreases as tensile stress increases. After identification, the MBN signal was reconstructed by discrete Gabor expansion which remains desired signal components and removes undesired ones.     

Joint model of gradient magnitude and Gabor features via Spatio-Temporal slice

To form a high-performance video quality predictor, we developed a framework for full-reference (FR) video quality assessment that integrates Spatio-temporal slice analysis (STS) to create a high-performance predictor of video quality. However, both gradient and Gabor are spatial–temporal structural capturers used for the simultaneous extraction of both spatial and temporal features. In this paper, we proposed a novel VQA algorithm via a joint model of gradient magnitude and Gabor features (JMG) between the STS images of the reference videos and their distorted counterparts to assess the degradation of video quality effectively. Firstly, gradient magnitude and the Gabor filter were constructed to extract the spatiotemporal features of the video sequence. However, the two-feature model combined to predict the perceptual quality of frames. This new proposed VQA model is known as the horizontal and time STS (HT-JMG) model. To further investigate the influence of spatial dissimilarity, we combined the frame-by-frame spatial T-JMG(S) factor with the HT-JMG and propose another VQA model, called the time, horizontal, and vertical STS (THV-JMG) model. Finally, the results of the experiment showed that the proposed method has a strong correlation with subjective perception and is competitive with state-of-the-art full reference VQA models.     

Face Recognition Based on Gabor Feature Extraction Followed by FastICA and LDA

Over the past few decades, face recognition has become the most effective biometric technique in recognizing people’s identity, as it is widely used in many areas of our daily lives. However, it is a challenging technique since facial images vary in rotations, expressions, and illuminations. To minimize the impact of these challenges, exploiting information from various feature extraction methods is recommended since one of the most critical tasks in face recognition system is the extraction of facial features. Therefore, this paper presents a new approach to face recognition based on the fusion of Gabor-based feature extraction, Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA), and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). In the presented method, first, face images are transformed to grayscale and resized to have a uniform size. After that, facial features are extracted from the aligned face image using Gabor, FastICA, and LDA methods. Finally, the nearest distance classifier is utilized to recognize the identity of the individuals. Here, the performance of six distance classifiers, namely Euclidean, Cosine, Bray-Curtis, Mahalanobis, Correlation, and Manhattan, are investigated. Experimental results revealed that the presented method attains a higher rank-one recognition rate compared to the recent approaches in the literature on four benchmarked face datasets: ORL, GT, FEI, and Yale. Moreover, it showed that the proposed method not only helps in better extracting the features but also in improving the overall efficiency of the facial recognition system.

Optimized Gabor features for mass classification in mammography

Gabor filter bank has been successfully used for false positive reduction problem and the discrimination of benign and malignant masses in breast cancer detection. However, a generic Gabor filter bank is not adapted to multi-orientation and multi-scale texture micro-patterns present in the regions of interest (ROIs) of mammograms. There are two main optimization concerns: how many filters should be in a Gabor filter band and what should be their parameters. Addressing these issues, this work focuses on finding optimizing Gabor filter banks based on an incremental clustering algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). We employ an SVM with Gaussian kernel as a fitness function for PSO. The effect of optimized Gabor filter bank was evaluated on 1024 ROIs extracted from a Digital Database for Screening Mammography (DDSM) using four performance measures (i.e., accuracy, area under ROC curve, sensitivity and specificity) for the above mentioned mass classification problems. The results show that the proposed method enhances the performance and reduces the computational cost. Moreover, the Wilcoxon signed rank test over the significance level of 0.05 reveals that the performance difference between the optimized Gabor filter bank and non-optimized Gabor filter bank is statistically significant.
