Image feature detection from phase congruency based on two-dimensional Hilbert transform

چکیده
The theory of phase congruency is that features such as step edges, roofs, and deltas always reach the maximum phase of image harmonic components. We propose a modified algorithm of phase congruency to detect image features based on two-dimensional (2-D) discrete Hilbert transform. Windowing technique is introduced to locate image features in the algorithm. Local energy is obtained by convoluting original image with two operators of removing direct current (DC) component over current window and 2-D Hilbert transform, respectively. Then, local energy is divided with the sum of Fourier amplitude of current window to retrieve the value of phase congruency. Meanwhile, we add the DC component of current window on original image to the denominator of phase congruency model to reduce the noise. Finally, the proposed algorithm is compared with some existing algorithm in systematical way. The experimental results of images in Berkeley Segmentation Dataset (BSDS) and remotely sensed images show that this algorithm is readily to detect image features. 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Illumination Invariant Face Recognition based on the New Phase Local Features
Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is a novel signal processing method which can efficiently handle nonstationary and nonlinear signals. It contains two key parts: Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert transform. EMD decomposes signals into a complete series of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs), which capture the intrinsic frequency components of original signals. Hilbert transform is adopted...

The two-dimensional phase congruency algorithm using the log Gabor transform as developed by Kovesi (2003) is used to look for features such as edges and corners on two-dimensional images. In image processing, the algorithm has applications to robot vision and feature enhancement. In seismic analysis, we also look for features on 3D seismic cubes, but the features we look for are structural in ...

متن کاملFeature Detection using S-Transform
Images are characterized by features. Machines identify and recognize a scene or an image by its features. Edges, objects, and textures are some of the features that distinguish one image from another. There could be many common features in similar images. But, in those commonalities there lies a distinction in terms of features known as subtle features. Numerous algorithms have been reported t...
