A new Wold ordering for image similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of measuring perceptual similarity between images is addressed using a new image model based on the Wold decomposition. The model permits separate treatment of image components which correspond approximately to peri-odicity, directionality, and randomness. We compare its performance in an image search application to two other methods { one based on shift-invariant principle components and one based on a multiscale simultaneous auto-regressive model. When textured images are ordered by distances between their Wold components, the results appear to be much closer to the human perception of similarity. We discuss how decoupling the three components can increase exibility for measuring image similarity and can save computation , permitting the \quickest" matches when the features are the most perceptually \salient."

One of the fundamental challenges in pattern recognition is choosing a set of features appropriate to a class of problems. In applications such as database retrieval, it is important that image features used in pattern comparison provide good measures of image perceptual similarities. In this paper, we present an image model with a new set of features that address the challenge of perceptual si...

متن کاملCluster-Based Image Segmentation Using Fuzzy Markov Random Field
Image segmentation is an important task in image processing and computer vision which attract many researchers attention. There are a couple of information sets pixels in an image: statistical and structural information which refer to the feature value of pixel data and local correlation of pixel data, respectively. Markov random field (MRF) is a tool for modeling statistical and structural inf...
متن کاملThe two-dimensional Wold decomposition for segmentation and indexing in image libraries
This paper presents a method for indexing and retrieval of multimediadata through texture segmentation, using the Wold decomposition. The texture field is assumed to be a realisation of a regular homogeneous random field. On the basis of a 2-D Wold-like decomposition, the field is represented as the sum of a purely indeterministic component, a harmonic component and a countable number of evanes...
متن کاملA Novel Subsampling Method for 3D Multimodality Medical Image Registration Based on Mutual Information
Mutual information (MI) is a widely used similarity metric for multimodality image registration. However, it involves an extremely high computational time especially when it is applied to volume images. Moreover, its robustness is affected by existence of local maxima. The multi-resolution pyramid approaches have been proposed to speed up the registration process and increase the accuracy of th...
