Texture Analysis Using Gabor Wavelets, Golshah Naghdy, Jianli Wang, Philip Ogunbona Sep 2012

Texture Analysis Using Gabor Wavelets, Golshah Naghdy, Jianli Wang, Philip Ogunbona

Professor Philip Ogunbona

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 encoding scale-space information efficiently. A multi-resolution implementation in the form of a dyadic decomposition of the signal of interest has been popularized by many researchers. In this paper, Gabor wavelet configured in a 'rosette' fashion is used as a multi-channel filter-bank feature extractor for …


Wavelet-Based Feature-Adaptive Adaptive Resonance Theory Neural Network For Texture Identification, Jiazhao Wang, Golshah Naghdy, Philip Ogunbona Sep 2012

Wavelet-Based Feature-Adaptive Adaptive Resonance Theory Neural Network For Texture Identification, Jiazhao Wang, Golshah Naghdy, Philip Ogunbona

Professor Philip Ogunbona

A new method of texture classification comprising two processing stages, namely a low-level evolutionary feature extraction based on Gabor wavelets and a high-level neural network based pattern recognition, is proposed. The design of these stages is motivated by the processes involved in the human visual system: low-level receptors responsible for early vision processing and the high-level cognition. Gabor wavelets are used as extractors of ‘‘lowlevel’’ features that feed the feature-adaptive adaptive resonance theory (ART) neural network acting as a high-level ‘‘cognitive system.’’ The novelty of the model developed in this paper lies in the use of a self-organizing input layer …


New Wavelet Based Art Network For Texture Classification, Jiazhao Wang, Golshah Naghdy, Philip O. Ogunbona Sep 2012

New Wavelet Based Art Network For Texture Classification, Jiazhao Wang, Golshah Naghdy, Philip O. Ogunbona

Professor Philip Ogunbona

A new method for texture classification is proposed. It is composed of two processing stages, namely, a low level evolutionary feature extraction based on Gabor wavelets and a high level neural network based pattern recognition. This resembles the process involved in the human visual system. Gabor wavelets are exploited as the feature extractor. A neural network, Fuzzy Adaptive Resonance Theory (Fuzzy ART), acts as the high level decision making and recognition system. Some modifications to the Fuzzy ART make it capable of simulating the post-natal and evolutionary development of the human visual system. The proposed system has been evaluated using …


On The Combination Of Local Texture And Global Structure For Food Classification, Zhimin Zong, Duc Thanh Nguyen, Philip Ogunbona, Wanqing Li Sep 2012

On The Combination Of Local Texture And Global Structure For Food Classification, Zhimin Zong, Duc Thanh Nguyen, Philip Ogunbona, Wanqing Li

Professor Philip Ogunbona

This paper proposes a food image classification method using local textural patterns and their global structure to describe the food image. In this paper, a visual codebook of local textural patterns is created by employing Scale Invariant Feature Transformation (SIFT) interest point detector with the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) feature. In addition to describing the food image using local texture, the global structure of the food object is represented as the spatial distribution of the local textural structures and encoded using shape context. We evaluated the proposed method on the Pittsburgh Fast-Food Image (PFI) dataset. Experimental results showed that the …
