Image Retrieval Via Isotropic and Anisotropic Mappings
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an approach for content-based image retrieval via isotropic and anisotropic mappings. Isotropic mappings are defined as mappings invariant to the action of the planar Euclidean group on the image space – invariant to the translation, rotation and reflection of image data, and hence, invariant to orientation and position. Anisotropic mappings, on the other hand, are defined as those mappings that are correspondingly variant. Structure extraction (via a perceptual grouping process) and color histogram are shown to be representations of isotropic mappings. Texture analysis using a channel energy model comprised of even-symmetric Gabor filters is considered to be a representation of anisotropic mapping. An integration framework for these mappings is developed. Results of retrieval of outdoor images by query and by classification using a nearest neighbor classifier are presented.

Velocity Modeling in a Vertical Transversely Isotropic Medium Using Zelt Method
In the present paper, the Zelt algorithm has been extended for ray tracing through an anisotropic model. In anisotropic media, the direction of the propagated energy generally differs from that of the plane-wave propagation. This makes velocity values to be varied in different directions. Therefore, velocity modeling in such media is completely different from that in an isotropic media. The vel...
متن کاملImage Restoration via Nonstandard Diffusion
We present a functional of nonstandard growth for which the corresponding minimization problem provides a model for image denoising, enhancement, and restoration. The diffusion resulting from the proposed model is a combination of isotropic and anisotropic diffusion. Isotropic diffusion is used at locations with low gradient and total variation based diffusion is used along likely edges. At all...
متن کاملPerceptual Color Image Smoothing via a New Region-Based PDE Scheme
In this paper, we present a new color image regularization method using a rotating smoothing filter. This approach combines a pixel classification method, which roughly determines if a pixel belongs to a homogenous region or an edge with an anisotropic perceptual edge detector capable of computing two precise diffusion directions. Using a now classical formulation, image regularization is here ...
متن کاملRay-tracing and Interferometry in Schwarzschild Geometry
Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski’s equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which resu...
متن کاملRidge Orientation Estimation and Verification Algorithm for Fingerprint Enhancement
Fingerprint image enhancement is a common and critical step in fingerprint recognition systems. To enhance the images, most of the existing enhancement algorithms use filtering techniques that can be categorized into isotropic and anisotropic according to the filter kernel. Isotropic filtering can properly preserve features on the input images but can hardly improve the quality of the images. O...
