Background suppressing Gabor energy filtering

چکیده
In the field of facial emotion recognition, early research advancedwith the use of Gabor filters. However, these filters lack generalization and result in undesirably large feature vector size. In recent work, more attention has been given to other local appearance features. Two desired characteristics in a facial appearance feature are generalization capability, and the compactness of representation. In this paper,we propose a novel texture feature inspired by Gabor energy filters, called background suppressing Gabor energy filtering. The feature has a generalization component that removes background texture. It has a reduced feature vector size due to maximal representation and soft orientationhistograms, and it is awhite box representation.Wedemonstrate improved performance on the non-trivial Audio/Visual Emotion Challenge 2012 grand-challenge dataset by a factor of 7.17 over the Gabor filter on the development set. We also demonstrate applicability of our approach beyond facial emotion recognition which yields improved classification rate over the Gabor filter for four bioimaging datasets by an average of 8.22%. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

تشخیص چهره با استفاده از PCA و فیلتر گابور
Methods for face recognition which are based on face structure are among techniques without supervision and produce unfavorable results in the presence of linear changes in images. PCA is a linear transform and a powerful tool for data analysis but does not produce good results for face recognition when there are non-linear changes resulting from changes in position, intensity and gesture in th...
متن کاملSegmentation methods for breast vasculature in dual-energy contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis
Dual-energy contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis (DE CE-DBT) uses an iodinated contrast agent to image the three-dimensional breast vasculature. The University of Pennsylvania has an ongoing DE CE-DBT clinical study in patients with known breast cancers. The breast is compressed continuously and imaged at four time points (1 pre-contrast; 3 post-contrast). DE images are obtained by a ...
متن کاملImaging effects due to multi-scale model heterogeneity
Velocity models used for wavefield-based seismic imaging represent approximations of the velocity characterizing the area under investigation. We can conceptually decompose the real velocity model into a background component which can be inferred using conventional velocity analysis techniques, and into another unknown component encapsulating the model heterogeneities. This unknown component is...

متن کاملImplementing Cepstral Filtering Technique using Gabor Filters to find Stereoscopic Disparity
Cepstral filtering technique is applied on an interlaced image, the pattern similar to that which is found in layer IV of Primate Visual Cortex. It involves Power spectrum in computation, which is square of absolute of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), is a complicated and hardware unfriendly. We propose an algorithm in which Gabor filters, instead of Power Spectrum, are applied to an interlaced im...
