چکیده

In computer vision applications, Active Appearance Models (AAMs) is usually used to model the shape and the gray-level appearance of an object of interest using statistical methods, such as PCA. However, intensity values used in standard AAMs cannot provide enough information for image alignment. In this paper, we firstly propose to utilize Gabor filters to represent the image texture. The benefit of Gaborcan lead to more accurate matching when condition changes. Given the problem of the excessive storage and computational complexity of the Gabor, three different Gabor-based image representations are used in AAMs: (1) GaborD is the sum of Gabor filter responses over directions, (2) GaborS is the sum of Gabor filter responses over scales, and (3) GaborSD is the sum of Gabor filter responses over scales and directions. Through a large number of experiments, we show that the proposed Gabor representations lead to more accurate and robust matching between model and images. & 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Texture Classification of Diffused Liver Diseases Using Wavelet Transforms

Introduction: A major problem facing the patients with chronic liver diseases is the diagnostic procedure.  The conventional diagnostic method depends mainly on needle biopsy which is an invasive method. There  are  some  approaches  to  develop  a  reliable  noninvasive  method  of  evaluating  histological  changes  in  sonograms. The main characteristic used to distinguish between the normal...

Local versus Global Texture Analysis for Lung Nodule Image Retrieval

Intensity overlap often occurs in medical images, making it difficult to identify different anatomical structures using intensity alone. Research studies have shown that texture is an important component in quantifying the visual appearance of anatomical structures, and is therefore valuable in the analysis, interpretation, and retrieval of lung nodules. The goal of our research study is to pre...

Unsupervised Texture Segmentation via Applying Geodesic Active Regions to Gaborian Feature Space

In this paper, we propose a novel variational method for unsupervised texture segmentation. We use a Gabor filter bank to extract texture features. Some of the filtered channels form a multidimensional Gaborian feature space. To avoid deforming contours directly in a vector-valued space we use a Gaussian mixture model to describe the statistical distribution of this space and get the boundary a...

Texture segmentation via a diffusion-segmentation scheme in the Gabor feature space

We address the problem of texture segmentation in the context of the Gabor feature space of images. Gabor filters which are tuned to different orientations, scales and frequencies are applied to textured images to create the Gabor feature space. We regard the scale, orientation and frequency for which maximum response of the Gabor filters was obtained. A two-dimensional Riemannian manifold of l...
