Rapid increase in the amount of audio data and especially music collections demand an efficient method to automatically retrieve audio objects based on its content. In this paper, based on the Gabor wavelet features, we will propose a method for content-based retrieval of perceptually similar music pieces in audio documents. It allows the user to select a reference passage within an audio file ...

We investigate 3D face recognition by proposing an algorithm with the following processing stages: (a) thresholding of depth maps of 3D range images; (b) normalization and alignment; c) feature extraction by Gabor Wavelet Filtering (GWF); d) Principal Component Analysis (PCA); e) classification using the concurrent neural model previously proposed by the first author called Concurrent Self-Orga...

Gabor filters have been used extensively in areas related to feature extraction of images due to their localization in space and bandlimited properties. Since 2-D Gabor filters have more complexity of computation, they have been used in static image decompositions rather than for mobile robots. In an attempt to reduce complexity of computation of 2-D Gabor filters for mobile robots, in this pap...

Gabor wavelet-based methods have been widely used to extract representative features for face analysis. However, the existing methods usually suffer from high computational complexity of Gabor wavelet transform (GWT), and the Gabor parameters are fixed to a few conventional values which are assumed to be the best choice. In this paper we show that, for some facial analysis applications, the con...

In this paper we have investigated the application of nonseparable Gabor wavelet transform for texture classification. We have compared the effect of applying the dyadic wavelet transform as a traditional method with Gabor wavelet for texture extraction. It is well known that Gabor wavelets attain maximum joint space-frequency resolution which is highly significant in the process of texture ext...

Edge detection plays a vital role in computer vision and image processing. Edge of the image is one of the most significant features which are mainly used for image analyzing process. An efficient algorithm for extracting the edge features of images using simplified version of Gabor Wavelet is proposed in this paper. Conventional Gabor Wavelet is widely used for edge detection applications. Due...

identification based on faces is still a useful method for many applications and face recognition developing is an active research field. in this paper, a novel face identification method is proposed. the proposed method (bridle path on gabor phase (bpgp)) is based on extracting texture patterns from phases of the gabor wavelet. also, in order to describe the textures, a novel texture descripto...

Authentication through the palmprint is a field of biometrics. Palmprint-based personal verification has quickly entered the biometric family. It has become increasingly popular in the recent years due to its ease of acquisition, reliability and high user acceptance. In this paper, we present an authentication system based on the palmprint. We are particularly interested in the feature extracti...

Recent research on texture synthesis suggests that characterisation of those properties of textures to which human observers are sensitive may be provided by the histograms of the coefficients of a wavelet decomposition. In this study we examined the properties of wavelet histograms that affect texture discrimination by measuring observer sensitivity to differences in the wavelet histograms of ...

In this paper a completely automatic face recognition system is presented. The system is inspired by the elastic bunch graph method, but the fiducial point localization is completely different and does not require any operator intervention. Each fiducial point is characterized applying a bank of filters which extracts the peculiar texture around it (jet). The performances of the steerable Gauss...
