Eye localization for face recognition

Paola Campadelli, Raffaella Lanzarotti, Giuseppe Lipori (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We present a novel eye localization method which can be used in face recognition applications. It is based on two SVM classifiers which localize the eyes at different resolution levels exploiting the Haar wavelet representation of the images. We present an extensive analysis of its performance on images of very different public databases, showing very good results.

Integrated region-based segmentation using color components and texture features with prior shape knowledge

Mehryar Emambakhsh, Hossein Ebrahimnezhad, Mohammad Hossein Sedaaghi (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Segmentation is the art of partitioning an image into different regions where each one has some degree of uniformity in its feature space. A number of methods have been proposed and blind segmentation is one of them. It uses intrinsic image features, such as pixel intensity, color components and texture. However, some virtues, like poor contrast, noise and occlusion, can weaken the procedure. To overcome them, prior knowledge of the object of interest has to be incorporated in a top-down...

Application of Wavelet Decomposition to Document Line Segmentation

Laskov, Lasko (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): I.7, I.7.5. In this paper an approach to document line segmentation is presented. The algorithm is based on a wavelet transform of the horizontal projective profile of the document image. The projective profile is examined as a one-dimensional discrete signal which is decomposed using the pyramidal wavelet algorithm up to a precise scale, where local minima and maxima are discovered. These local extrema, projected into the input...

Segmentation of breast cancer fine needle biopsy cytological images

Maciej Hrebień, Piotr Steć, Tomasz Nieczkowski, Andrzej Obuchowicz (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper describes three cytological image segmentation methods. The analysis includes the watershed algorithm, active contouring and a cellular automata GrowCut method. One can also find here a description of image pre-processing, Hough transform based pre-segmentation and an automatic nuclei localization mechanism used in our approach. Preliminary experimental results collected on a benchmark database present the quality of the methods in the analyzed issue. The discussion of common...

Fusion based analysis of ophthalmologic image data

Jiří Jan, Radim Kolář, Libor Kubečka, Jan Odstrčilík, Jiří Gazárek (2011)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The paper presents an overview of image analysis activities of the Brno DAR group in the medical application area of retinal imaging. Particularly, illumination correction and SNR enhancement by registered averaging as preprocessing steps are briefly described; further mono- and multimodal registration methods developed for specific types of ophthalmological images, and methods for segmentation of optical disc, retinal vessel tree and autofluorescence areas are presented. Finally, the...
