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...

We study singly-generated wavelet systems on R that are naturally associated with rank-one wavelet systems on the Heisenberg group N . We prove a necessary condition on the generator in order that any such system be a Parseval frame. Given a suitable subset I of the dual of N , we give an explicit construction for Parseval frame wavelets that are associated with I . We say that g ∈ L(I×R) is Ga...

Gabor deconvolution has been updated and a new ProMAX module is released. The updates are: (1) a new method of spectral smoothing called hyperbolic smoothing; (2) a Gabor transform using compactly supported windows that improves run times by one to two orders of magnitude; and (3) a post-deconvolution time-variant bandpass filter whose maximum frequency tracks along a hyperbola in the time-freq...

This work presents a new method for a human face representation and tracking in video sequences. A discrete face template is represented by linear combination of the continuous 2D odd-Gabor wavelet functions (Gabor Wavelet Network). The weights and 2D parameters (position, scale and orientation) of each wavelet are determined optimally. Using this representation, an effective face tracking meth...

This paper proposes new hybrid approaches for face recognition. Gabor wavelets representation of face images is an effective approach for both facial action recognition and face identification. Perform dimensionality reduction and linear discriminate analysis on the down sampled Gabor wavelet faces can increase the discriminate ability. Nearest feature space is extended to various similarity me...

this paper is practically interested in the unchangeable feature of Arabic handwritten character. It presents results of comparative study achieved on certain features extraction techniques of handwritten character, based on Hough transform, Fourier transform, Wavelet transform and Gabor Filter. Obtained results show that Hough Transform and Gabor filter are insensible to the rotation and trans...

Orthogonal and biorthogonal wavelets became very popular image processing tools but exhibit major drawbacks, namely a poor resolution in orientation and the lack of translation invariance due to aliasing between subbands. We propose here the construction of log-Gabor wavelet transforms which allow exact reconstruction and strengthen the excellent mathematical properties of the Gabor filters. Tw...
