The Log-polar Image Representation in Pattern Recognition Tasks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is a review of works about the use of the logpolar image model for pattern recognition purposes. Particular attention is paid to the rotationand scale-invariant pattern recognition problem, which is simplified by the log-polar mapping. In spite of this advantage, ordinary translations become a complicated image transform in the logpolar domain. Two approaches addressing the estimation of translation, rotation and scaling are compared. One of them, developed by the authors, takes advantage of the principles of the active vision paradigm.

Local gradient pattern - A novel feature representation for facial expression recognition
Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...
متن کاملScale and Orientation Invariant Object Recognition using Self-Organizing Maps
This paper proposes a new invariant feature-space system based in the log-polar image representation and SelfOrganizing Maps (SOMs). The image representation used, which is inspired by the structure of the human retina, allows data reduction and helps recognize image contents at different scales and orientations. Each object class is represented by a single prototype image, thus allowing classe...
متن کاملTranslation invariants of Zernike moments
Moment functions de0ned using a polar coordinate representation of the image space, such as radial moments and Zernike moments, are used in several recognition tasks requiring rotation invariance. However, this coordinate representation does not easily yield translation invariant functions, which are also widely sought after in pattern recognition applications. This paper presents a mathematica...
متن کاملPrimal sketch feature extraction from a log-polar image
We present a novel approach 1 for extracting primal sketch features (edges, bars, blobs and ends) from a log-polar image. Symmetry operators and a PCA pre-processing module precede a set of neural networks that learn the feature’s class and contrast. Experiments show the process accurately extracts the desired feature-based image description.
متن کاملIterative Weighted Non-smooth Non-negative Matrix Factorization for Face Recognition
Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is a part-based image representation method. It comes from the intuitive idea that entire face image can be constructed by combining several parts. In this paper, we propose a framework for face recognition by finding localized, part-based representations, denoted “Iterative weighted non-smooth non-negative matrix factorization” (IWNS-NMF). A new cost fun...
