A multi-scale curve smoothing for generalised pattern recognition (MSGPR)
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a new method for pattern characterisation in the context of pattern recognition. This method is based on the analysis of the contour of planar objects like the CSS (Curvature Scale Space) method that uses the maxima of the curvature zero-crossing. The input contour is separated into two signals according to its coordinates x and y which are progressively low-pass filtered by decreasing the filter bandwidth. The output signals are then amplified so that the reconstructed contour and the input one have the same scale. By doing so, we detect the intersection points between both contours and then generate the intersection points map that defines features for pattern recognition. Since this method deals only with curve smoothing, it needs only a convolution operation. This way, one can reasonably hope that this method is faster than the CSS one with equivalent performances.

It is an attractive method for medical ima...
متن کاملFitting digital curve using circular arcs
AIBtract--A smoothing procedure is proposed, where the Gaussian filter is used with an adaptive mechanism to suppress the noise effect and quantization error of a digital curve. Those points of the smoothed curve where curvature changes abruptly are detected as breakpoints. Circular arcs are suitably designed between breakpoints to fit the input curve. Experimental results indicate that our cur...

\Scale-space" is an important recent concept used in image and signal processing and pattern recognition. Traditional scale-space is generated by a linear Gaus-sian smoothing operation. We present here a nonlinear type of smoother corresponding to the multiscale opening and closing operations of mathematical morphology which also generates a \scale-space."

Scale-space is an important recent concept used in image processing and pattern recognition. Traditional scale-space is generated by a linear smoothing operation. We present here a nonlinear type of smoother related to mathematical morphology which meets (modiied) \scale-space ax-ioms" and also generates a \scale-space." This scale-space is full-plane and preserves the positions of features.
متن کاملMultiscale contour description for pattern recognition
In this paper, we present a new method and its preliminary results within the context of pattern analysis and recognition. This method is based on the multiscale analysis of a curve and deals with the contour of planar objects. Our method uses a low-pass Gaussian kernel to gradually smooth the contour by decreasing the filter bandwidth. Applying gain control to the smoothed contour stretches it...
