Statistically and perceptually motivated nonlinear image representation

چکیده
We describe an invertible nonlinear image transformation that is well-matched to the statistical properties of photographic images, as well as the perceptual sensitivity of the human visual system. Images are first decomposed using a multi-scale oriented linear transformation. In this domain, we develop a Markov random field model based on the dependencies within local clusters of transform coefficients associated with basis functions at nearby positions, orientations and scales. In this model, division of each coefficient by a particular linear combination of the amplitudes of others in the cluster produces a new nonlinear representation with marginally Gaussian statistics. We develop a reliable and efficient iterative procedure for inverting the divisive transformation. Finally, we probe the statistical and perceptual advantages of this image representation, examining robustness to added noise, rate-distortion behavior, and artifact-free local contrast enhancement.

Perceptually and Statistically Decorrelated Features for Image Representation: Application to Transform Coding
Transform coding consists of a scalar quantization of the features of an image representation. These features should be independent enough to justify the scalar approach. The coefficients of the commonly used DCT representation still show some dependence that may reduce its efficiency. In this work, a perceptually inspired non-linear transform is used to map the DCT into a new representation th...
متن کاملFacial Feature Extraction based on a Degree of Perceptual Importance
Feature extraction is a key issue in the image processing and recognition. Especially, in the robot vision, intelligent methods such as human visual system are demanded. As a perceptually motivated image model, the three-component image model has been proposed, which decomposes components corresponding to degrees of the perceptual importance. We pay attention to its effective extraction ability...
متن کاملTowards a perceptual framework for interface design in digital environments for timbre manipulation
Many commercial software applications for timbre creation and manipulation feature an engineering-focused, parametric layout. This paper argues the case for a perceptually motivated approach to interface design in such tools. ‘Perceptually motivated’ in this context refers to the use of common semantic timbre descriptors to influence the digital representation of timbre. A review is given of ex...

Iris recognition is one of the most reliable methods for identification. In general, itconsists of image acquisition, iris segmentation, feature extraction and matching. Among them, iris segmentation has an important role on the performance of any iris recognition system. Eyes nonlinear movement, occlusion, and specular reflection are main challenges for any iris segmentation method. In thi...
متن کاملHyperspectral Image Classification Based on the Fusion of the Features Generated by Sparse Representation Methods, Linear and Non-linear Transformations
The ability of recording the high resolution spectral signature of earth surface would be the most important feature of hyperspectral sensors. On the other hand, classification of hyperspectral imagery is known as one of the methods to extracting information from these remote sensing data sources. Despite the high potential of hyperspectral images in the information content point of view, there...
