Rotation Invariant Categorization of Visual Objects Using Radon Transform and Self-Organizing Modules
نویسنده
چکیده
The Radon transform in combination with self-organizing maps is used to build the rotation invariant systems for categorization of visual objects. The first system has one SOM per the Radon transform direction. The outputs from these directional SOMs that represent positions of the winners and related post-synaptic activities, form the input to the final categorizing SOM. Such a network delivers robust rotation invariant categorization of images rotated by angles up to around 12. In the second network the angular Radon transform vectors are combined together and form the input to the categorizing SOM. This network can correctly categorized visual stimuli rotated by up to 30. The rotation invariance can be improved by increasing the number of Radon transform angle, which has been equal to six in our initial experiments.

The Angular Integral of the Radon Transform (aniRT) as a Feature Vector in Categorization of Visual Objects
The recently introduced angular integral of the Radon transform (aniRT) seems to be a good candidate as a feature vector used in categorization of visual objects in a rotation invariant fashion. We investigate application of aniRT in situations when the number of objects is significant, for example, Chinese characters. Typically, the aniRT feature vector spans the diagonal of the visual object....
متن کاملIncremental Self-Organizing Map (iSOM) in Categorization of Visual Objects
We present a modification of the well-known Self-Organizing Map (SOM) in which we incrementally allocate the neuronal nodes to progressively added new stimuli. Our incremental SOM (iSOM) aims at the situation when a stimulus, or percept, is represented by a number of neuronal nodes a typical case in biological situation when the redundancy of representation of data is important. The iSOM is app...

Automatic identification and localization of cartographic objects in aerial and satellite images have gained increasing attention in recent years in digital photogrammetry and remote sensing. Although the automatic extraction of man made objects in essence is still an unresolved issue, the man made objects can be extracted from aerial photos and satellite images. Recently, the high-resolution s...

In this paper, we address the problem of the rotationinvariant texture analysis. For this purpose, we first present a modified version of the discrete Radon transform whose performance, including accuracy and processing time, is significantly better than the conventional transform in direction estimation and categorization of textural images. We then utilize this transform with a rotated versio...
متن کاملA Rotation Invariant Image Descriptor based on Radon Transform
In this paper, we proposed a rotation invariant image descriptor based on Radon transform (RT) and energy operator. Radon transform captures the directional features of the pattern image by projecting the pattern onto different orientation slices, and its most attractive ability is to transform rotational components to circular shift components. Meanwhile, the energy operator can remove the cir...
