Scale and Rotation Invariant Detection of Singular Patterns in Vector Flow Fields

چکیده
We present a method for detecting and describing features in vector flow fields. Our method models flow fields locally using a linear combination of complex monomials. These monomials form an orthogonal basis for analytic flows with respect to a correlation-based innerproduct. We investigate the invariance properties of the coefficients of the approximation polynomials under both rotation and scaling operators. We then propose a descriptor for local flow patterns, and developed a method for comparing them invariantly against rigid transformations. Additionally, we propose a SIFT-like detector that can automatically detect singular flow patterns at different scales and orientations. Promising detection results are obtained on different fluid flow data.

Detecting singular patterns in 2D vector fields using weighted Laurent polynomial
In this paper, we propose a method for detecting patterns of interest in vector fields. Our method detects patterns in a scaleand rotation-invariant manner. It works by approximating the vector-field data locally using a Laurent polynomial weighted by radial basis functions. The proposed representation is able to model both analytic and non-analytic flow fields. Invariance to scale and rotation...
متن کاملInvariant representation of orientation fields for fingerprint indexing
Orientation fields can be used to describe interleaved ridge and valley patterns of fingerprint image, providing features useful for fingerprint recognition. However, for tasks such as fingerprint indexing, additional image alignment is often required to avoid confounding effects caused by pose differences. In this paper, we propose to employ a set of polar complex moments (PCMs) for extraction...
متن کاملDetection of Copy-Move Forgery in Digital Images Using Scale Invariant Feature Transform Algorithm and the Spearman Relationship
Increased popularity of digital media and image editing software has led to the spread of multimedia content forgery for various purposes. Undoubtedly, law and forensic medicine experts require trustworthy and non-forged images to enforce rights. Copy-move forgery is the most common type of manipulation of digital images. Copy-move forgery is used to hide an area of the image or to repeat a por...
متن کاملPattern search for the visualization of scalar, vector, and line fields
The main topic of this thesis is pattern search in data sets for the purpose of visual data analysis. By giving a reference pattern, pattern search aims to discover similar occurrences in a data set with invariance to translation, rotation and scaling. To address this problem, we developed algorithms dealing with different types of data: scalar fields, vector fields, and line fields. For scalar...
متن کاملHierarchical Hashing for Pattern Search in 3D Vector Fields
The expressiveness of many visualization methods for 3D vector fields is often limited by occlusion, i.e., interesting flow patterns hide each other or are hidden by laminar flow. Automatic detection of patterns in 3D vector fields has gained attention recently, since it allows to highlight user-defined patterns and separate the wheat from the chaff. We propose an algorithm which is able to det...
