In this paper satellite image resolution and brightness enhancement technique based on the Gabor wavelet transform has been proposed. Satellite images are used in many applications such as geosciences studies, astronomy, and geographical information systems. The input image is enhanced first using Colour Space Transform and then a filter consisting of Gabor wavelets is used to extract texture f...

This paper describes a new method for the automated segmentation and extraction of cardiac MRI tagging lines. Our method is based on the novel use of a 2D Gabor filter bank. By convolving the tagged input image with our Gabor filters, the tagging lines are automatically enhanced and segmented out. We design the Gabor filter bank based on the input image’s spatial and frequency characteristics. ...

In the present investigation we link noncommutative geometry over noncommutative tori with Gabor analysis, where the first has its roots in operator algebras and the second in time-frequency analysis. We are therefore in the position to invoke modern methods of operator algebras, e.g. topological stable rank of Banach algebras, to exploit the deeper properties of Gabor frames. Furthermore, we a...

Spectro-temporal Gabor features based on auditory knowledge have improved word accuracy for automatic speech recognition in the presence of noise. In previous work, we generated robust spectro-temporal features that incorporated the power normalized cepstral coefficient (PNCC) algorithm. The corresponding power normalized spectrum (PNS) is then processed by many Gabor filters, yielding a high d...

In this work, we present a discrete fractional Gabor representation on a general, non-rectangular timefrequency lattice. The traditional Gabor expansion represents a signal in terms of time and frequency shifted basis functions, called Gabor logons. This constant-bandwidth analysis uses a fixed, and rectangular time-frequency plane tiling. Many of the practical signals require a more flexible, ...

Since two-dimensional Gabor filter can be separated into onedimensional Gaussian low pass filter and one-dimensional Gaussian band pass filter to the perpendicular, a new set of separable Gabor filters are implemented for fingerprint enhancement. This separable Gabor filtering consumes approximately 2.6 time faster than the conventional Gabor filtering with comparable enhancement results. This ...
