Image classification was performed using Gabor wavelet filters for image feature extraction, self-organising maps (SOM) for dimensional reduction of Gabor wavelet filters, and forward (FNN), Hermite (HNN) and Laguerre (LNN) neural networks to classify real and artificial fingerprint images from optical coherence tomography (OCT). Use of a SOM after Gabor edge detection of OCT images of fingerpr...

Receptive field profiles of simple cells in the visual cortex have been shown to resemble even-symmetric or odd-symmetric Gabor filters. Computational models employed in the analysis of textures have been motivated by two-dimensional Gabor functions arranged in a multi-channel architecture. More recently Wavelets have emerged as a powerful tool for non-stationary signal analysis capable of enco...

In this paper, we review most major filtering approaches to texture feature extraction and perform a comparative study. Filtering approaches included are Laws masks, ring/wedge filters, dyadic Gabor filter banks, wavelet transforms, wavelet packets and wavelet frames, quadrature mirror filters, discrete cosine transform, eigenfilters, optimized Gabor filters, linear predictors, and optimized fi...

Appearance-based methods represent a promising research direction to the problem of vehicle detection. These methods learn the characteristics of the vehicle class from a set of training images which capture the variability in vehicle appearance. First, training images are represented by a set of features. Then, the decision boundary between the vehicle and non-vehicle classes is computed by mo...

introduction: the process of discriminating among benign and malignant hyperplasia begun with subjective methods using light microscopy and is now being continued with computerized morphometrical analysis requiring some features. one of the main features called volume percentage of stroma (vps) is obtained by calculating the percentage of stroma texture. currently, this feature is calculated by...

This article presents a new method of image filtering based on kind processing transformation, particularly the wavelet-Ateb–Gabor that is wider basis for Gabor functions. Ateb functions are symmetric The developed type makes it possible to perform transformation and obtain better biometric recognition results than traditional filters allow. These due construction various forms sizes curves Fur...

In this study, an embedded machine vision system using Gabor filters and Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) is developed to identify defects of warp-knitted fabrics automatically. The system consists of smart cameras and a Human Machine Interface (HMI) controller. A hybrid detection algorithm combing Gabor filters and PCNN is running on the SOC processor of the smart camera. First, Gabor filte...

This paper proposes a multimodal biometric system through Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) for face and ear biometrics with belief fusion of the estimated scores characterized by Gabor responses and the proposed fusion is accomplished by Dempster-Shafer (DS) decision theory. Face and ear images are convolved with Gabor wavelet filters to extracts spatially enhanced Gabor facial features and Gabor e...

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...
