Automatic target shape recognition via deformable wavelet templates
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this research, we propose the deformable wavelet template (DWT) for object shape description. DWT o ers not only the global information at the lower scales, but also local features at higher di erential scales. Thus, it provides a natural tool for multiresolution representation and can be used conveniently in a hierarchical matching procedure. In the presentation, we address the three main processing steps in the DWT-based ATR algorithm. They are namely, 1) image preprocessing and target shape extraction, 2) shape feature normalization, 3) wavelet decomposition. The topic of multiscale matching is also touched. We demonstrate the performance of our proposed algorithm with extensive experimental results in the presentation.

Deformable Shape Detection and Description via Model-Based Region Grouping
ÐA method for deformable shape detection and recognition is described. Deformable shape templates are used to partition the image into a globally consistent interpretation, determined in part by the minimum description length principle. Statistical shape models enforce the prior probabilities on global, parametric deformations for each object class. Once trained, the system autonomously segment...
متن کاملAutomatic Target Recognition Using Wavelet-Based Vector Quantization
An automatic target recognition classifier is described that uses a set of dedicated vector quantizers (VQs) in the wavelet domain. The background pixels in each input image are properly clipped out by a set of aspect windows. The extracted target area for each aspect window is then enlarged to a fixed size, after which a wavelet decomposition is used to split this region into several subbands....

متن کاملVideo Face Tracking and Recognition with Skin Region Extraction and Deformable Template Matching
The authors describe a face tracking and recognition system for video indexing that handles variable face poses (left-right and up-down) and deformations due to speech and facial expressions. The system is based on deformable template matching, and employs person-specific templates at near-frontal poses for recognition, and novel person-independent templates at multiple poses on the view-sphere...
