Invertible Orientation Bundles on 2D Scalar Images

چکیده
Abs t rac t . A general approach for multiscale orientation analysis of 2D scalar images is proposed. A scale-dependent orientation bundle (map of the visual space into function of two arguments: position and orientation) is constructed from the local Gaussian-derivatives jet of a scalar image in 2D. It is shown that there exists a class of orientation filters exhibiting an invertible relation between the orientation bundle and the original image in space domain. This invertible transformation is used to regain the original acuity in the spatial domain after analyzing orientation features at any given scale. The approach turns out to be highly effective for the detection of elongated structures. Keywords" Integral Transformations; Orientation Analysis; Scale Space;

By means of a special type of wavelet unitary transform we construct an orientation score from a grey-value image. This orientation score is a complex-valued function on the 2D Euclidean motion group SE(2) and gives us explicit information on the presence of local orientations in an image. As the transform between image and orientation score is unitary we can relate operators on images to opera...

The enhancement and detection of elongated structures in noisy image data is relevant for many biomedical imaging applications. To handle complex crossing structures in 2D images, 2D orientation scores U : R×S → C were introduced, which already showed their use in a variety of applications. Here we extend this work to 3D orientation scores U : R × S → C. First, we construct the orientation scor...

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye related complication of diabetes mellitus caused due to damage to the retinal blood vessels, resulting in micro-aneurysms, hemorrhages and exudates. DR is asymptomatic, necessitating the development of an automated screening system. Exudates appear in the later stages of diabetic retinopathy and their presence would classify the disease as moderate or severe. In d...

A new template matching scheme for the detection of objects on the basis of orientations is proposed. The matching scheme is based on correlations in the domain R o S of complex valued invertible orientation scores. In invertible orientation scores, a comprehensive overview of how an image is decomposed into local orientations is obtained. The presented approach allows for the efficient detecti...
