iso-intensity manifolds in Gaussian scale space images under a one-parameter driven deformation

چکیده
In this work we describe the possible transitions for the hierarchical structure that describes an image in Gaussian scale space. Until now, this structure has only been used for topological segmentation, while image matching and retrieval studies ignored the hierarchy. In order to perform such tasks based on the hierarchical structure, one needs to know which transitions are allowed when the structure is changed under influence of one control parameter.

متن کاملSingularities in Gaussian scale space that are relevant for changes in its hierarchical structure
The Gaussian scale space for an n-dimensional image L(x) is defined as its n + 1 dimensional extension L(x, t) being the solution of ∂tL = ∆L,Lt=0 = L(x). A hierarchical structure in L(x, t) is derived by combining the critical curves (∇xL(x, t) = 0) and special points on them, viz. catastrophe points (where detH = 0, H being the Hessian matrix) and scale space saddles (where ∆L = 0), with iso-...
متن کاملThe hierarchical structure of images
Using a Gaussian scale space, one can use the extra dimension, viz. scale, for investigation of "built-in" properties of the image in scale space. We show that one of such induced properties is the nesting of special iso-intensity manifolds, which yield an implicitly present hierarchy of the critical points and regions of their influence, in the original image. Its very nature allows one not on...

متن کاملOn Manifolds in Gaussian Scale Space
In an ordinary 2D image the critical points and the isophotes through the saddle points provide sufficient information for classifying the image into distinct regions belonging to the extrema (i.e. a collection of bright and dark blobs), together with their nesting due to the saddle isophotes. For scale space images, obtained by convolution of the image with a Gaussian filter at a continuous ra...
