چکیده

We describe a novel framework for the joint processing of color and shape information in natural images. A hierarchical non-linear spatio-chromatic operator yields spatial and chromatic opponent channels, which mimics processing in the primate visual cortex. We extend two popular object recognition systems (i.e., the Hmax hierarchical model of visual processing and a sift-based bag-of-words approach) to incorporate color information along with shape information. We further use the framework in combination with the gist algorithm for scene categorization as well as the Berkeley segmentation algorithm. In all cases, the proposed approach is shown to outperform standard grayscale/shape-based descriptors as well as alternative color processing schemes on several datasets.

Fabric Weave Pattern and Yarn Color Recognition and Classification Using a Deep ELM Network

Usually, a fabric weave pattern is recognized using methods which identify the warp floats and weft floats. Although these methods perform well for uniform or repetitive weave patterns, in the case of complex weave patterns, these methods become computationally complex and the classification error rates are comparatively higher. Furthermore, the fault-tolerance (invariance) and stability (selec...

A Novel Feature Descriptor for Image Retrieval by Combining Modified Color Histogram and Diagonally Symmetric Co-occurrence Texture Pattern

In this paper, we have proposed a novel feature descriptors combining color and texture information collectively. In our proposed color descriptor component, the inter-channel relationship between Hue (H) and Saturation (S) channels in the HSV color space has been explored which was not done earlier. We have quantized the H channel into a number of bins and performed the voting with saturation ...

Color Image Descriptor using Wavelet Correlogram

Image descriptor performs two major tasks of the extracting algorithm. One is to encode image into feature vectors and the other is to measure for comparing a query image and the images in database. This paper proposes a new efficient image descriptor that uses the color feature based on wavelet color-spatial information of an image. In order to evaluate the proposed descriptor, we perform the ...

New Pseudo-CT Generation Approach from Magnetic Resonance Imaging using a Local Texture Descriptor

Background: One of the challenges of PET/MRI combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the PET image. For that, the pseudo-CT image could be used to correct the attenuation. Until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-CT image using the registration techniques. However, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...

New image descriptors based on color, texture, shape, and wavelets for object and scene image classification

This paper presents new image descriptors based on color, texture, shape, and wavelets for object and scene image classification. First, a new three Dimensional Local Binary Patterns (3D-LBP) descriptor, which produces three new color images, is proposed for encoding both color and texture information of an image. The 3D-LBP images together with the original color image then undergo the Haar wa...
