본 논문에서는 Gabor 특징과 MDLC 특징, 그리고 co-occurrence 특징의 융합에 의한 질감 특징 기반언어 인식 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 먼저 시험 영상에 Gabor 변환에 이은 크기 연산자를 적용하여 Gabor 크기 영상을 얻고 그 통계치를 계산하여 결과를 벡터화한다. 이어서 MDLC 연산자를 이용하여 MDLC 영상을 얻고 역시 그 통계치를 계산하여 벡터화한다. 다음으로 시험 영상으로부터 GLCM을 계산하고 이를 이용하여 co-occurrence 특징을 계산한 다음 벡터화한다. 이들 Gabor, MDLC, co-occurrence 특징에 의한 벡터들은 벡터 융합에 의하여 특징 벡터로 사용된다. 분류 단계에서는 얼굴 인식에 주로 사용되는 WPCA를 분류기로 하여 시험 특징 벡터와 가장 유사한 학습 특징 벡터를 찾는다. 제안된 방법의 성능은 15개국 언어의 문서를 스캔하여 얻은 시험 문서 영상 DB에 대한 평균 인식률을 조사하여 알아본다. 실험 결과 제안된 방법은 시험 DB에 대하여 비교적 낮은 특징 벡터 차원으로 매우 우수한 언어 인식 성능을 보여준다.

In this paper, we propose new features for describing texture images by using multi-channel Gabor filter and log-polar transform based on human visual system (HVS). Gabor features are extracted by the mean and standard deviation of energy in Gabor response, followed by Fourier series extension. Log-polar features are extracted by log-polar transform and projection. The proposed texture descriptor performs reasonably well with less number of features than other texture descriptors, which has been verified by experiments using some texture images of MPEG-7 data set.

A direct authentication from gray-scale image, instead of the conventional multi-step preprocessing, is proposed using Gabor filter-based features from the gray-scale fingerprint around core point. The core point is located as a reference point for the translation invariant matching. And its principal symmetry axis is detected for the rotation invariant matching from its neighboring region centered at the core point. And then fingerprint is divided into non-overlapping blocks with respect to the core point and features are directly extracted form the blocked gray level fingerprint using Gabor filter. The proposed fingerprint authentication is based on the Euclidean distance between the corresponding Gabor features of the input and the template fingerprints. Experiments are conducted on 300${\times}$300 fingerprints obtained from a CMOS sensor with 500 dpi resolution, and the proposed method could lower the False Reject Rate(FRR) to 18.2% under False Acceptance Rate(FAR) of 0%.

The paper proposes a novel gait recognition algorithm based on feature fusion of gait energy image (GEI) dynamic region and Gabor, which consists of four steps. First, the gait contour images are extracted through the object detection, binarization and morphological process. Secondly, features of GEI at different angles and Gabor features with multiple orientations are extracted from the dynamic part of GEI, respectively. Then averaging method is adopted to fuse features of GEI dynamic region with features of Gabor wavelets on feature layer and the feature space dimension is reduced by an improved Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA). Finally, the vectors of feature fusion are input into the support vector machine (SVM) based on multi classification to realize the classification and recognition of gait. The primary contributions of the paper are: a novel gait recognition algorithm based on based on feature fusion of GEI and Gabor is proposed; an improved KPCA method is used to reduce the feature matrix dimension; a SVM is employed to identify the gait sequences. The experimental results suggest that the proposed algorithm yields over 90% of correct classification rate, which testify that the method can identify better different human gait and get better recognized effect than other existing algorithms.

This paper presents a method for facial feature representation and recognition from the Covariance Matrices of the Gabor-filtered images. Gabor filters are a very powerful tool for processing images that respond to different local orientations and wave numbers around points of interest, especially on the local features on the face. This is a very unique attribute needed to extract special features around the facial components like eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose. The Covariance matrices computed on Gabor filtered faces are adopted as the feature representation for face recognition. Geodesic distance measure is used as a matching measure and is preferred for its global consistency over other methods. Geodesic measure takes into consideration the position of the data points in addition to the geometric structure of given face images. The proposed method is invariant and robust under rotation, pose, or boundary distortion. Tests run on random images and also on publicly available JAFFE and FRAV3D face recognition databases provide impressively high percentage of recognition.

As multimedia database and digital image libraries are enlarged, CBIR(Content Based Image Retrieval) has been getting importance for the efficient search. Generally, CBIR uses primitive features such as color, shape, texture and so on. Among various methods of CBIR, Gabor wavelet has good image retrieval performance with texture features but it has a disadvantage which does not perform well for a rotated image because of its direction oriented filter. In this paper, we propose a new method to solve this problem by modifying Gabor filter for all directions. And then we will compare the searching performance of the proposed method with those of conventional image retrieval methods through experiments with trademarks.

본 논문은 임의의 영역 안에 존재하는 텍스처를 검색하기 위한 wavelet과 Gabor기반 텍스처 표현 기법을 제안하고 이들의 검색성능을 평가한다. 지금까지 Gator 평면에서의 평균과 표준편차 특징 기술자가 직사각형안의 텍스처를 표현하기에 가장 적합한 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 임의의 영역 안의 물체를 표현하는 기술이 실제 검색이나 여러 다른 텍스처 표현 응용 예에 더욱 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 wavelet과 Gabor 필터에 기반한 특징 추출법을 제안하고 이들을 실제 텍스처 데이터 베이스에 적용해 본 결과, wavelet기반 특징 기술자가 Gator기반 기술자에 비하여 더욱 효과적임을 발견하였다. 특히 wavelet평면에서 표준편차와 엔트로피 특징을 사용함으로써 가장 좋은 검색 성능을 냄을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 본 논문에서는 다양한 실제 텍스처 영상을 가지고 wavelet과 Gator에 기반한 다양한 특징벡터에 따른 검객 성능을 평가하였다.

A real-time face detection is to find human faces robustly under the cluttered background free from the effect of occlusion by other objects or various lightening conditions. We propose a face detection system for real-time applications using wavelet decomposition method based on Gabor features. Firstly, skin candidate regions are extracted from the given image by skin color filtering and projection method. Then Gabor-feature based template matching is performed to choose face cadidate from the skin candidate regions. The chosen face candidate region is transformed into 2-level wavelet decomposition images, from which feature vectors are extracted for classification. Based on the extracted feature vectors, the face candidate region is finally classified into either face or nonface class by the Levenberg-Marguardt back-propagation neural network.

Most methods for fusion-based finger vein recognition were to fuse different features or matching scores from more than one trait to improve performance. To overcome the shortcomings of "the curse of dimensionality" and additional running time in feature extraction, in this paper, we propose a finger vein recognition technology based on matching score-level fusion of a single trait. To enhance the quality of finger vein image, the contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) method is utilized and it improves the local contrast of normalized image after ROI detection. Gabor features are then extracted from eight channels based on a bank of Gabor filters. Instead of using the features for the recognition directly, we analyze the contributions of Gabor feature from each channel and apply a weighted matching score-level fusion rule to get the final matching score, which will be used for the last recognition. Experimental results demonstrate the CLAHE method is effective to enhance the finger vein image quality and the proposed matching score-level fusion shows better recognition performance.

얼굴 영상 데이터베이스에서 제공하는 눈 좌표에 의존해서 부분 자동 얼굴 인식 알고리즘을 설계 구현하면 실 환경 얼굴 인식 시스템에서는 눈 좌표 추출 알고리즘의 정확도에 따라 인식 성능이 달라질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 얼굴의 눈, 코, 입 및 윤곽선 정보를 바탕으로 설정한 특징점 기반의 얼굴 모델 그래프를 생성하여 얼굴 영상에 정합시키고 각 특징점에서 Gabor 및 LBP 피쳐를 추출해서 결합하는 방식의 완전 자동 얼굴 인식 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 본 알고리즘에서는 완전 자동으로 얼굴 영상에 얼굴 모델 그래프를 맞출 뿐만 아니라 기존의 Gabor 피쳐에 LBP 피쳐를 추가함으로써 인식 성능을 극대화 시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 제안한 알고리즘을 FERET 데이터베이스에 적용해 본 결과 1,000명 이상의 얼굴을 실시간으로 인식할 수 있었고 각 데이터 집합에 대해서 우수한 인식 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.
