In this paper, we present an approach for image reconstruction from local phase vectors in the monogenic scale space. The local phase vector contains not only the local phase but also the local orientation of the original signal, which enables the simultaneous estimation of the structural and geometric information. Consequently, the local phase vector preserves a lot of important information of...

The high pressure behavior of the structural and electronic properties of KC1 is studied with use of the density functional pseudopotential method within local-density approximation. Atzero pressure, the rocksalt phase is found to be lower in energy than CsCl structure. However, we predict a phase transition into CsCI structure at a pressure of about 1.5 GPa. The calculated ground state pro...

It is widely believed that the phase spectrum of an image contributes much more to the image’s visual appearance than the magnitude spectrum. Several researchers have also shown that this phase information can be computed indirectly from local magnitude information, a theory which is consistent with the physiological evidence that complex cells respond to local magnitude (and are insensitive to...

Disguised face recognition is a major challenge in the field of face recognition which has been taken less attention. Therefore, in this paper a disguised face recognition algorithm based on Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) method and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is presented which deals with two main challenges. The first challenge is when an individual intentionally alters the appearance ...

Previous research demonstrated that global phase alone can be used to faithfully represent visual scenes. Here we provide a reconstruction algorithm by using only local phase information. We also demonstrate that local phase alone can be effectively used to detect local motion. The local phase-based motion detector is akin to models employed to detect motion in biological vision, for example, t...
