Fractal Transforms and Feature Invariance
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, fractal transforms are employed with the aim of image recognition. It is known that such transforms are highly sensitive to distortions like a small shift of an image. However, by using features based on statistics kept during the actual decomposition we can derive features from fractal transforms which are invariant to perturbations like rotation, translation, folding or contrast scaling. Further, we introduce a feature invariance measure which reveals the degree of invariance of a feature with respect to a database. The features and the way their invariance is measured, appear well-suited for the application to images of textures.

Image Databases, Scale and Fractal Transforms
In contemporary image databases one finds many images with the same image content but perturbed by zooming, scaling, rotation etc. For the purpose of image recognition in such databases we employ features based on statistics stemming from fractal transforms of gray-scale images. We show how the features derived from these statistical aspects can be made invariant to zooming or rescaling. A feat...

Scale invariant texture recognition methods are applied for the computer assisted diagnosis of celiac disease. In particular, emphasis is given to techniques enhancing the scale invariance of multi-scale and multi-orientation wavelet transforms and methods based on fractal analysis. After fine-tuning to specific properties of our celiac disease imagery database, which consists of endoscopic ima...
متن کاملMulti-Fractal Analysis for Feature Extraction from DNA Sequences
This paper presents estimations of multi-scale (multi-fractal) measures for feature extraction from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences, and demonstrates the intriguing possibility of identifying biological functionality using information contained within the DNA sequence. We have developed a technique that seeks patterns or correlations in the DNA sequence at a higher level than the local ba...

متن کاملMulti-level Fractal Decomposition Based Feature Extraction Using Two Dimensional Discrete Wavelet Transforms
In this paper, the multifractal scheme provides a richer framework to extract the fractal components using 2D discrete wavelet transform than that of the conventional methods. In general, most of the signals and images are complex objects and possess a high degree of redundant information. The statistical properties of signals and natural images reveal that natural images can be viewed through ...
