A Real-Time Gabor Primal Sketch for Visual Attention
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a fast algorithm for Gabor filtering, specially designed for multi-scale image representations. Our proposal is based on three facts: first, Gabor functions can be decomposed in gaussian convolutions and complex multiplications which allows the replacement of Gabor filters by more efficient gaussian filters; second, isotropic gaussian filtering is implemented by separable 1D horizontal/vertical convolutions and permits a fast implementation of the non-separable zero-mean Gabor kernel; third, short FIR filters and the à trous algorithm are utilized to build a recursive multi-scale decomposition, which saves important computational resources. Our proposal reduces to about one half the number of operations with respect to state-of-the-art approaches.

Primal Sketch: Integrating Texture and Structure
Following Marr’s insight, we propose a generative image representation called primal sketch, which integrates two modeling components. The first component explains the structural part of an image, such as object boundaries, by a hidden layer of image primitives. The second component models the remaining textural part without distinguishable elements by Markov random fields that interpolate the ...
متن کاملA Retina-like Image Representation of Primal Sketch Features Extracted using a Neural Network Approach
This paper presents a log-polar image representation composed of low-level features extracted using a connectionist approach. The low level features (edges, bars, blobs and ends) are based on Marr's primal sketch hypothesis for the human visual system 3] and are used as the entry point of an iconic vision system 1]. This unusual image representation has been created using a neural network that ...
متن کاملAutomatic Image Inpainting by Heuristic Texture and Structure Completion
This paper studies an image inpainting solution based on a primal sketch representation model [1], which divides an image into structure (sketchable) and texture (non-sketchable) components. This solution first predicts the missing structures, such as curves and corners, using a tensor voting algorithm [2]. Then the texture parts along structural sketches are synthesized with the patches sample...
متن کاملPrimal sketch: Integrating structure and texture
This article proposes a generative image model, which is called “primal sketch,” following Marr’s insight and terminology. This model combines two prominent classes of generative models, namely, sparse coding model and Markov random field model, for representing geometric structures and stochastic textures respectively. Specifically, the image lattice is divided into structure domain and textur...
متن کاملConstruction of a scale-space primal sketch
We present a multi-scale representation of grey-level shape, called scale-space primal sketch, that makes explicit features in scale-space as well as the relations between features at different levels of scale. The representation gives a qualitative description of the image structure that allows for extraction of significant image structure — stable scales and regions of interest — in a solely ...
