Detection of Residual Yarn in Bobbin Based on Odd Partial Gabor Filter and Multi-Color Space Hierarchical Clustering

In an automatic bobbin management system that simultaneously detects bobbin color and residual yarn,a composite texture segmentation and recognition operation based on an odd partial Gabor filter and multi-color space hierarchical clustering are proposed.Firstly,the parameter-optimized odd partial Gabor filter is used to distinguish bobbin and yarn texture,to explore Garbor parameters for yarn bobbins,and to accurately discriminate frequency characteristics of yarns and texture.Secondly,multi-color clustering segmentation using color spaces such as red,green,blue(RGB)and CIELUV(LUV)solves the problems of over-segmentation and segmentation errors,which are caused by the difficulty of accurately representing the complex and variable color information of yarns in a single-color space and the low contrast between the target and background.Finally,the segmented bobbin is combined with the odd partial Gabor’s edge recognition operator to further distinguish bobbin texture from yarn texture and locate the position and size of the residual yarn.Experimental results show that the method is robust in identifying complex texture,damaged and dyed bobbins,and multi-color yarns.Residual yarn identification can distinguish texture features and residual yarns well and it can be transferred to the detection and differentiation of complex texture,which is significantly better than traditional methods.

Robust Image Hashing via Random Gabor Filtering and DWT

Image hashing is a useful multimedia technology for many applications,such as image authentication,image retrieval,image copy detection and image forensics.In this paper,we propose a robust image hashing based on random Gabor filtering and discrete wavelet transform(DWT).Specifically,robust and secure image features are first extracted from the normalized image by Gabor filtering and a chaotic map called Skew tent map,and then are compressed via a single-level 2-D DWT.Image hash is finally obtained by concatenating DWT coefficients in the LL sub-band.Many experiments with open image datasets are carried out and the results illustrate that our hashing is robust,discriminative and secure.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve comparisons show that our hashing is better than some popular image hashing algorithms in classification performance between robustness and discrimination.

Gabor Filter Optimization Design for Iris Texture Analysis

This paper deals with an optimization design method for the Gabor filters based on the analysis of an iris texture model. By means of analyzing the properties of an iris texture image, the energy distribution regularity of the iris texture image measured by the average power spectrum density is exploited, and the theoretical ranges of the efficient valued frequency and orientation parameters can also be deduced. The analysis shows that the energy distribution of the iris texture is generally centralized around lower frequencies in the spatial frequency domain. Accordingly, an iterative algorithm is designed to optimize the Gabor parameter field. The experimental results indicate the validity of the theory and efficiency of the algorithm.

Visual-attention gabor filter based online multi-armored target tracking

The multi-armored target tracking(MATT)plays a crucial role in coordinated tracking and strike.The occlusion and insertion among targets and target scale variation is the key problems in MATT.Most stateof-the-art multi-object tracking(MOT)works adopt the tracking-by-detection strategy,which rely on compute-intensive sliding window or anchoring scheme in detection module and neglect the target scale variation in tracking module.In this work,we proposed a more efficient and effective spatial-temporal attention scheme to track multi-armored target in the ground battlefield.By simulating the structure of the retina,a novel visual-attention Gabor filter branch is proposed to enhance detection.By introducing temporal information,some online learned target-specific Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs)are adopted to address occlusion.More importantly,we built a MOT dataset for armored targets,called Armored Target Tracking dataset(ATTD),based on which several comparable experiments with state-ofthe-art methods are conducted.Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves outstanding tracking performance and meets the actual application requirements.

Scheme for Designing the 1-D Convolution Window of Gabor Filter

A scheme for designing one-dimensional (1-D) convolution window of the circularly symmetric Gabor filter which is directly obtained from frequency domain is proposed. This scheme avoids the problem of choosing the sampling frequency in the spatial domain, or the sampling frequency must be determined when the window data is obtained by means of sampling the Gabor function, the impulse response of the Gabor filter. In this scheme, the discrete Fourier transform of the Gabor function is obtained by discretizing its Fourier transform. The window data can be derived by minimizing the sums of the squares of the complex magnitudes of difference between its discrete Fourier transform and the Gabor function's discrete Fourier transform. Not only the full description of this scheme but also its application to fabric defect detection are given in this paper. Experimental results show that the 1-D convolution windows can be used to significantly reduce computational cost and greatly ensure the quality of the Gabor filters. So this scheme can be used in some real-time processing systems.

Direction navigability analysis of geomagnetic field based on Gabor filter

Direction navigability analysis is a supplement to the navigability analysis theory, in which extraction of the direction suitable-matching features(DSMFs) determines the evaluation performance. A method based on the Gabor filter is proposed to estimate the direction navigability of the geomagnetic field. First,the DSMFs are extracted based on the Gabor filter’s responses.Second, in the view of pattern recognition, the classification accuracy in fault diagnosis is introduced as the objective function of the hybrid particle swarm optimization(HPSO) algorithm to optimize the Gabor filter’s parameters. With its guidance, the DSMFs are extracted. Finally, a direction navigability analysis model is established with the support vector machine(SVM), and the performances of the models under different objective functions are discussed. Simulation results show the parameters of the Gabor filter have a significant influence on the DSMFs, which, in turn, affects the analysis results of direction navigability. Moreover, the risk of misclassification can be effectively reduced by using the analysis model with optimal Gabor filter parameters. The proposed method is not restricted in geomagnetic navigation, and it also can be used in other fields such as terrain matching and gravity navigation.

Iris Feature Extraction Method Based on 1D Gabor Filter

The normalized iris image was divided into eight sub-bands, and every column of each sub-band was averaged by rows to generate eight 1D iris signals. Then the even symmetry item of 1D Gabor filter was used to describe local characteristic blocks in 1D iris signals, and the results were quantified by their polarities to generate iris codes. In order to estimate the performance of the presented method, an iris recognition platform was produced and the Hamming distance between two iris codes was computed to measure the dissimilarity of them. The experimental results in CASIA v1. 0 and Bath iris image databases show that the proposed iris feature extraction algorithm has a promising potential in iris recognition.

Automatic Image Inspection of Fabric Defects Based on Optimal Gabor Filter

An effective method for automatic image inspection of fabric defects is presented. The proposed method relies on a tuned 2D-Gabor filter and quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization( QPSO) algorithm. The proposed method consists of two main steps:( 1) training and( 2) image inspection. In the image training process,the parameters of the 2D-Gabor filters can be tuned by QPSO algorithm to match with the texture features of a defect-free template. In the inspection process, each sample image under inspection is convoluted with the selected optimized Gabor filter.Then a simple thresholding scheme is applied to generating a binary segmented result. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by using a standard fabric defects database from Cotton Incorporated. Good experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of proposed method. To further evaluate the performance of the proposed method,a real time test is performed based on an on-line defect detection system. The real time test results further demonstrate the effectiveness, stability and robustness of the proposed method,which is suitable for industrial production.

We note that the proposed retinal verification method gives 92.6%, 100% and 98.2% recognition rates for the previous databases, respectively. Furthermore, for the authentication task, the proposed method gives a moderate accuracy of retinal vessel images from these databases.

Vessel Extraction on Ocular Fundus Images by Using Gabor Filter Bank

Fundus diagnosis is an important part of the whole body examination that may provide rich clinical information to doctors for diagnostic reference. Manual fundus vessel extraction is helpful to quantitative measurement of diseases but obviously it is a tough work for physicians. This paper presents an automatic method by using Gabor filter bank to extract the artery and vein separately in the ocular fundus images. After preprocessing steps that include gray-scale transform, gray value inversion and contrast enhancement, the Gabor filter bank is applied to the extraction of the artery and vein in the ocular fundus images. Finally these two different width types of vessels are selected by post-processing methods such as labeling, corrosion, binarization, etc. Evaluation results show an accurate rate of 90% in vein and 82% in artery from 20 cases, that indicates the effectiveness of our proposed segmentation method.

Combining Multi-scale Directed Depth Motion Maps and Log-Gabor Filters for Human Action Recognition

Recognition of the human actions by computer vision has become an active research area in recent years. Due to the speed and the high similarity of the actions, the current algorithms cannot get high recognition rate. A new recognition method of the human action is proposed with the multi-scale directed depth motion maps(MsdDMMs) and Log-Gabor filters. According to the difference between the speed and time order of an action, MsdDMMs is proposed under the energy framework. Meanwhile, Log-Gabor is utilized to describe the texture details of MsdDMMs for the motion characteristics. It can easily satisfy both the texture characterization and the visual features of human eye. Furthermore, the collaborative representation is employed as action recognition by the classification. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm, which is applied in the MSRAction3 D dataset and MSRGesture3 D dataset, can achieve the accuracy of 95.79% and 96.43% respectively. It also has higher accuracy than the existing algorithms, such as super normal vector(SNV), hierarchical recurrent neural network(Hierarchical RNN).

Finally, the region growing method with automatic seed point selection is used to extract the vessel network from the image background. The experiments of the proposed algorithm are conducted on DRIVE dataset, which is an open access dataset. Results obtain an accuracy of 94.9% over the dataset that has been used.
