Image Pulse Coding Scheme applied to Feature Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The resurgence in interest concerning pulse-coded neural nets has led to various attempts to integrate pulse computation schemes in conventional mixed signal VLSI. Of interest is especially the robustness of representing an analogue signal in the phase or duration of a pulsed, quasi-digital signal, as well as the possibility of direct digital manipulation of such an analogue signal. Starting from the biological model, various pulse coding and computation schemes have been postulated, such as rate codes with different rate definitions, absolute or relative phase codes, correlation codes, various single or multi-neuron statistical codes, rank order coding, or neural noise shaping. Simply using pulse order, we will show that a powerful low-level feature and texture extraction operator, called Local Orientation Coding, can be implemented efficiently as a pulsed computation scheme. Feature extraction results are being presented, and possible VLSI implementations are detailed.

Image authentication using LBP-based perceptual image hashing
Feature extraction is a main step in all perceptual image hashing schemes in which robust features will led to better results in perceptual robustness. Simplicity, discriminative power, computational efficiency and robustness to illumination changes are counted as distinguished properties of Local Binary Pattern features. In this paper, we investigate the use of local binary patterns for percep...

This paper presents an improvement of the Visual Pattern image coding (VPIC) scheme presented by Chen and Bovik in [2] and [3]. The patterns in this improved scheme are defined by morphological operations and classified by absolute error minimization. The improved scheme identifies more uniform blocks and reduces the noise effect. Therefore, it improves the compression ratio and image quality i...
متن کاملImage feature extraction by sparse coding and independent component analysis
Sparse coding is a method for nding a representation of data in which each of the components of the representation is only rarely signiicantly active. Such a representation is closely related to the techniques of independent component analysis and blind source separation. In this paper, we investigate the application of sparse coding for image feature extraction. We show how sparse coding can b...
متن کاملContourlet-Based Edge Extraction for Image Registration
Image registration is a crucial step in most image processing tasks for which the final result is achieved from a combination of various resources. In general, the majority of registration methods consist of the following four steps: feature extraction, feature matching, transform modeling, and finally image resampling. As the accuracy of a registration process is highly dependent to the fe...
