Finding Faces in Color Images Using Wavelet Transform
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a new fast method for detecting human faces in color images using wavelet transform is proposed. The face detection algorithm has three stages, where chrominance, shape and frequency information are used respectively. The algorithm starts at the lower resolution version of the image obtained from the wavelet transform, so that the amount of data to be processed is greatly reduced. Experimental results show that the human face in color images can be detected regardless of orientation.

Introduction: An efficient method of tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine is positron emission tomography (PET). Compared to SPECT, PET has the advantages of higher levels of sensitivity, spatial resolution and more accurate quantification. However, high noise levels in the image limit its diagnostic utility. Noise removal in nuclear medicine is traditionally based on Fourier decomposition o...
متن کاملEfficient Image Fusion in Color Images Using Multiresolution Transform Techniques
Image fusion is the process of integration of two or more source images into a single fused image. The resultant fused image is used to retain the important features of the source images. Color image fusion is the process of integrating one or more color images to enhance clarity of the image. The application of color image fusion simplifies object identification and helps in better cognition. ...
