facial expressions are the most powerful and direct means of presenting human emotions and feelings and offer a window into a persons’ state of mind. in recent years, the study of facial expression and recognition has gained prominence; as industry and services are keen on expanding on the potential advantages of facial recognition technology. as machine vision and artificial intelligence advan...

Binary descriptors have become popular for computer vision tasks because of their potential for smart phone applications. However, most binary descriptors have been heuristically hand-crafted. In this paper, we present a methodology to learn sparse binary descriptors from images. A new sampling and comparison pattern is also introduced and its advantages over the existing descriptors are discus...

Targets and objects registration and tracking in a sequence of images play an important role in various areas. One of the methods in image registration is feature-based algorithm which is accomplished in two steps. The first step includes finding features of sensed and reference images. In this step, a scale space is used to reduce the sensitivity of detected features to the scale changes. Afterw...

Humans are extremely proficient at perceiving natural scenes and understanding their contents. Scene recognition in Human is the natural activity by which human can easily recognize the scene even if the scene is complex, partially occluded or blurred. In machine vision the recognition rate is less compared with human vision. To improve the recognition rate of the machine vision an efficient st...

We present a novel image feature descriptor for rotationally invariant 2D texture classification. This extends our previous work on noise-resistant and intensity-shift invariant median binary patterns (MBPs), which use binary pattern vectors based on adaptive median thresholding. In this paper the MBPs are hashed to a binary chain or equivalence class using a circular bit-shift operator. One bi...

We present a line-scan stereo system and descriptor-based dense stereo matching for highperformance vision applications. The stochastic binary local descriptor (STABLE) descriptor is a local binary descriptor that builds upon the principles of compressed sensing theory. The most important properties of STABLE are the independence of the descriptor length from the matching window size and the po...

This paper investigate a binary local image descriptor for Augmented Reality (AR) applications. Recently, various fields are benefit from AR. This technique can enhance the real environment by inserting virtual objects generated by computer. Temporal coherence between virtual and real objects must be ensure in AR system realization. In this paper, object recognition based on extracted natural f...

Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...
