Image Analysis Using Soft Histograms
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper advocates the use of overlapping bins in histogram creation. It is shown how conventional histogram creation has an inherent quantisation that cause errors much like those in sampling with insufficient band limitation. The use of overlapping bins is shown to be the deterministic equivalent to dithering. Two applications of soft histograms are shown: Improved peak localisation in an estimated probability density function (PDF) without requiring more samples, and accurate estimation of image rotation.

Soft Histograms for Local Binary Patterns
This paper proposes using soft histograms for the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) operator that has been widely applied in different image analysis tasks. This makes the operator more robust to noise and make its output continuous with respect to input. The proposed extension is shown to significantly enhance the performance of the operator with degraded images.
متن کاملColor scene transform between images using Rosenfeld-Kak histogram matching method
In digital color imaging, it is of interest to transform the color scene of an image to the other. Some attempts have been done in this case using, for example, lαβ color space, principal component analysis and recently histogram rescaling method. In this research, a novel method is proposed based on the Resenfeld and Kak histogram matching algorithm. It is suggested that to transform the color...
متن کاملCombining Local Feature Histograms of Different Granularities
Histograms of local features have proven to be powerful representations in image category detection. Histograms with different numbers of bins encode the visual information with different granularities. In this paper we experimentally compare techniques for combining different granularities in a way that the resulting descriptors can be used as feature vectors in conventional vector space learn...
متن کاملDensity-Based Histogram Partitioning and Local Equalization for Contrast Enhancement of Images
Histogram Equalization technique is one of the basic methods in image contrast enhancement. Using this method, in the case of images with uniform gray levels (with narrow histogram), causes loss of image detail and the natural look of the image. To overcome this problem and to have a better image contrast enhancement, a new two-step method was proposed. In the first step, the image histogram is...
متن کاملFace Recognition Using Smoothed High-Dimensional Representation
Recent studies have underlined the significance of high-dimensional features and their compression for face recognition. Partly motivated by these findings, we propose a novel method for building unsupervised face representations based on binarized descriptors and efficient compression by soft assignment and unsupervised dimensionality reduction. For binarized descriptors, we consider Binarized...
