Scale-Space Filtering
نویسنده
چکیده
The extrema in a signal and its first few derivatives provide a useful general-purpose qualitative description for many kinds of signals. A fundamental problem in computing such descriptions is scale: a derivative must be taken over some neighborhood, but there is seldom a principled basis for choosing its size. Scale-space filtering is a method that describes signals qualitatively, managing the ambiguity of scale in an organized and natural way. The signal is first expanded by convolution with gaussian masks over a continuum of sizes. This "scale-space" image is then collapsed, using its qualitative structure, into a tree providing a concise but complete qualitative description covering all scales of observation. The description is further refined by applying a stability criterion, to identify events that persist of large changes in scale.

Application of Single-Frequency Time-Space Filtering Technique for Seismic Ground Roll and Random Noise Attenuation
Time-frequency filtering is an acceptable technique for attenuating noise in 2-D (time-space) and 3-D (time-space-space) reflection seismic data. The common approach for this purpose is transforming each seismic signal from 1-D time domain to a 2-D time-frequency domain and then denoising the signal by a designed filter and finally transforming back the filtered signal to original time domain. ...

This paper proposes multirate signal processing methods for realizing Gaussian scale-space filtering. We introduce new computatiolly efficient interpolated Gaussian scale-space filters. Also, the use of decimators together with interpolated Gaussian filters is considered. The proposed filtering methods require dramatically less computation than conventional Gaussian scale-space filtering especi...

A discrete alternative to scale space filtering is presented. The new method provides for fast solutions to problems of spatial containment, filtering and matching, without using arbitrary parameters and smoothing of the input. The discrete space-scale representation is a hierarchical perceptual organization that has concrete applications in computer vision research. Examples of actual implemen...
متن کاملA Spatio-Frequency Trade-Off Scale for Scale-Space Filtering
ÐWe study implementation issues for spatial convolution filters and their Fourier alternative, with the aim to optimize the accuracy of filter output. We focus on Gaussian scale-space filters and show that there exists a trade-off scale that subdivides the available scale range into two subintervals of equal length. Below this trade-off scale Fourier filtering yields more accurate results than ...
متن کاملA Non-convex PDE Scale Space
For image filtering applications, it has been observed recently that both diffusion filtering and associated regularization models provide similar filtering properties. The comparison has been performed for regularization functionals with convex penalization functional. In this paper we discuss the relation between non-convex regularization functionals and associated time dependent diffusion fi...
