The use of the Gabor function in calculating the local orientation is described and then tested on two images. The results show that this method of segmentation may be used to remove much of the clutter and noise that is present in ...

This paper describes a fast face identification method with Gabor filters. Two efforts are made to achieve the acceptable processing speed: 1) we design the optimal Gabor filters with the arrangement theory that uses a few directions and layers. 2) The transformation with Gabor filters (as called Gabor transformation) is only done over the regions around the facial feature points, not the whole...

Gabor multipliers are well-suited for the approximation of certain time-variant systems. However, this class of systems is rather restricted. To overcome this restriction, multiple Gabor multipliers allowing for more than one synthesis windows are introduced. The influence of the choice of the various parameters involved on approximation quality is studied for both classical and multiple Gabor ...
