چکیده

For many years the concept of using hexagonal pixels for image capture has been investigated, and several advantages of such an approach have been highlighted. Recently there has been a renewed interest in the use of hexagonal images: biologically inspired approaches, representation of architectures for such images and general hexagonal image processing. We present multiscale hexagonal gradient operators that are developed within the finite element framework for use directly on hexagonal pixel-based images. We evaluate the proposed operators using simulated hexagonal images and provide performance evaluation using the Figure of Merit technique for comparison with existing hexagonal gradient operators.

Image authentication using LBP-based perceptual image hashing

Feature extraction is a main step in all perceptual image hashing schemes in which robust features will led to better results in perceptual robustness. Simplicity, discriminative power, computational efficiency and robustness to illumination changes are counted as distinguished properties of Local Binary Pattern features. In this paper, we investigate the use of local binary patterns for percep...

Tri-directional gradient operators for hexagonal image processing

Image processing has traditionally involved the use of square operators on regular rectangular image lattices. For many years the concept of using hexagonal pixels for image capture has been investigated, and several advantages of such an approach have been highlighted.

A Biologically Inspired Approach for Fast Image Processing

As features within an image may be present at many scales, application of feature detectors at multiple scales can improve accuracy of the detected localisation and orientation. As the scale and size of a feature detector increases, so does the computational complexity of implementation across the image domain. To address this issue we present a novel integral image for hexagonal pixel based im...

تحلیل ممیز غیرپارامتریک بهبودیافته برای دسته‌بندی تصاویر ابرطیفی با نمونه آموزشی محدود

Feature extraction performs an important role in improving hyperspectral image classification. Compared with parametric methods, nonparametric feature extraction methods have better performance when classes have no normal distribution. Besides, these methods can extract more features than what parametric feature extraction methods do. Nonparametric feature extraction methods use nonparametric s...
