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 ...

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...

One of the major difficulties in face recognition systems is the in-depth pose variation problem. Most face recognition approaches assume that the pose of the face is known. In this work, we use a variation of Gabor wavelet transform for the representation of human face images to efficiently solve the pose estimation problem. Parameters of the Gabor wavelets, namely frequency and orientation, a...

The Gabor filter is applied using discrete wavelet transform for edge detection and contour tracing on true color images, whose wavelet functions provide the high resolution in both spatial and frequency domains. The number of wavelets also affects the quality of edge detection. To generate more accurate outcomes, integration of adaptive contrast stretching and Gabor wavelet transform is proper...

An elementary function that is now commonly referred to Gabor function, Gabor filter and Gabor wavelet was derived from uncertainty relation for information by Gabor to overcome the representation limit of Fourier analysis. Analyzing a signal by a Gabor filter in terms of convolution or spatial filtering, two pieces of information—phase and magnitude—can be obtained. In the paper, Gabor filter ...

In this paper, a novel method to recognize defect regions of apples based on Gabor wavelet transformation and SVM using machine vision is proposed. The method starts with background removal and object segmentation by threshold. Texture features are extracted from each segmented object by using Gabor wavelet transform, and these features are introduced to support vector machines (SVM) classifier...

This paper is an examination of techniques for obtaining Fourier series-like expansions of finite-energy signals using so-called Gabor and wavelet expansions. These expansions decompose a given signal into time and frequency localized components. The theory of frames in Hilbert spaces is used as a criteria for determining when such expansions are good representations of the signals. Some result...

Gabor transform is used for feature extraction and wavelet transformation for fusion of iris and fingerprint. The system applied artificial neural network technique for recognizing whether the user is genuine (a...

Texture features play a predominant role in land cover classification of remotely sensed images. In this study, for extracting texture features from data intensive remotely sensed image, Gabor wavelet has been used. Gabor wavelet transform filters frequency components of an image through decomposition and produces useful features. For classification of fuzzy land cover patterns in the remotely ...
