An extreme point of scale space extraction method for binary multiscale and rotation invariant local feature descriptor is studied in this paper in order to obtain a robust and fast method for local image feature descriptor. Classic local feature description algorithms often select neighborhood information of feature points which are extremes of image scale space, obtained by constructing the i...

A new method to describe sperm vitality using a hybrid combination of local and global texture descriptors is proposed in this paper. In this regard, a new adaptive local binary pattern (ALBP) descriptor is presented in order to carry out the local description. It is built by adding oriented standard deviation information to an ALBP descriptor in order to achieve a more complete representation ...

Encoding local motion information using spatio-temporal features is a common approach in action recognition methods. These features are based on the information content inside subregions extracted at locations of interest in a video. In this paper, we propose a conceptually different approach to video feature extraction. We adopt an entropybased saliency framework and develop a method for estim...

The local descriptors have been the backbone of most of the computer vision problems. Most of the existing local descriptors are generated over the raw input images. In order to increase the discriminative power of the local descriptors, some researchers converted the raw image into multiple images with the help some high and low pass frequency filters, then the local descriptors are computed o...

Image representation and classification are two fundamental tasks towards multimedia content retrieval and understanding. The idea that shape and texture information (e.g. edge or orientation) are the key features for visual representation is ingrained and dominated in current multimedia and computer vision communities. A number of low-level features have been proposed by computing local gradie...

Pyramid Histogram of Multi-scale Block Local Binary Pattern (PH-MBLBP) descriptor for recognizing scene categories, is presented in this paper. We show that scene categorization, especially for indoor and outdoor environments, requires its visual descriptor to process properties that are different from other vision domains (e.g., SIFT descriptor used for object categorization). Our proposed PH-...

Stimulated by the difficulty of deriving effective kinetic energy functionals of the electron density, the authors consider using the local kinetic energy as the fundamental descriptor for molecular systems. In this ansatz, the electron density must be expressed as a functional of the local kinetic energy. There are similar results for other quantities, including the local temperature and the K...

This article addresses the problem of denoising 3D data from LIDAR. It is a step often required to allow a good reconstruction of surfaces represented by point clouds. In this paper, we present an original algorithm inspired by a recent method developed by (Buades and Morel, 2005) in the field of image processing, the Non Local Denoising (NLD). With a local geometric descriptor, we look for poi...
