Fast Space-variant Image Analysis Through Steerable Gabor-like Filters

چکیده
The log-polar image geometry, first introduced to model the space-variant topology of the human retina receptors in relation to the data compression it achieves, has become popular in the active vision community for the important algorithmic benefits it provides. Despite these advantages, foveated sensing has not been widely used due to the lack of specific image processing tools. We demonstrate that it is possible to perform multichannel space-variant image processing with high computational efficiency through Gabor-like steerable kernels in the cortical domain.

Fast Gabor Filters for Object Recognition of Mobile Robot
Gabor filters have been used extensively in areas related to feature extraction of images due to their localization in space and bandlimited properties. Since 2-D Gabor filters have more complexity of computation, they have been used in static image decompositions rather than for mobile robots. In an attempt to reduce complexity of computation of 2-D Gabor filters for mobile robots, in this pap...
متن کامل2D Focal Plane Steerable and Scalable Cortical Filters
We describe a 25x25 pixel image sensor which spatially filters a set of input currents supplied by an array of phototransistors by two orientation selective image filters. The filters are similar to even and odd Gabor filters, which have been used to model the receptive fields of neurons in the visual cortex. The circuit architecture implementing the image filter consists of two resistive netwo...
متن کاملLocal orientation analysis in images and image sequences using steerable filters
In this thesis, we address the issue of local orientation analysis using steerable filters. From the standpoint of the sampling theory, current orientation steerable filters sample the spectrum of the orientation space with Dirac functions. According to the well known uncertainty principle, we cannot simultaneously localize a signal both in the spatial domain and in the spectral domain exactly....
