Image Databases, Scale and Fractal Transforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 feature invariance measure is defined and described. The method is especially suitable for images of textures. We produce numerical results which validate the approach.

Image Retrieval Using Fractal Feature
Content-based image retrieval attracted many researchers of various fields in an effort to automate data analysis and indexing. In contemporary image databases one finds many images with the same content perturbed by zooming, scaling, rotation and noise. For the purpose of image recognition in such databases we employ features based on statistics stemming from fractal transforms of gray-scale i...
متن کاملMeasure-Valued Images, Associated Fractal Transforms, and the Affine Self-Similarity of Images
We construct a complete metric space (Y, dY ) of measurevalued images, μ : X → M(Rg), where X is the base or pixel space and M(Rg) is the set of probability measures supported on the greyscale range Rg. Such a formalism is well-suited to nonlocal image processing, i.e., the manipulation of the value of an image function u(x) based upon values u(yk) elsewhere in the image. We then show how the s...
متن کاملWatermarking Experiments Based On Wavelet Transforms
This paper proposes a watermark, W, a set of independent and identically distributed Gaussian pseudo random signals, which is embedded into the coefficients of the high-low band and −W is embedded into those of the low-high band at level 3 in a 3-scale wavelet transform. A watermark generation, insertion, extraction, and verification after a variety of attacks via image operations such as scali...
متن کاملContractivity of fractal transforms for image coding
Indexing terms: Coding, Image processing, Fractal transforms In this letter the contractivity of existing fractal transforms for use in image compression schemes is examined. The coding process is described as nonlinear transformation in the finite dimensional euclidean vector space. We derive sufficient conditions for contractivity based on the spectral norm and the spectral radius of the tran...
متن کاملIris Recognition System Using Fractal Dimensions of Haar Patterns
Classification of iris templates based on their texture patterns is one of the most effective methods in iris recognition systems. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for automatic iris classification based on fractal dimensions of Haar wavelet transforms is presented. Fractal dimensions obtained from multiple scale features are used to characterize the textures completely. Haar wavelet is ap...
