In this study, a new algorithm for Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) using bi-cubic interpolation (BCI)with color coding (CC) and different level of discrete wavelet transform (DWT). In this paper the techniques of CBIR are discussed, analyzed and compared. BCI is used to scale the query image and database images. CC is used for color feature extraction. Apply DWT on each level plane of an image...
LBP (Local Binary Pattern) is a commonly used operator to extract LBPH (LBP histogram) of an image for local texture description. For gender classification, we proposed an innovative method by extracting multi-scale LBPH in DoG (Difference of Gaussian) space in this paper. Given a facial image, we firstly preprocess it meticulously to avert the local variations of images which probably be caused by...
A method for Off-line handwritten signature verification is described in this paper. Recently, several papers have proposed pseudo dynamic methods based on the ink deposition process to discriminate between genuine and fake signatures. The major problem of those methods is the ink texture normalization in order to make the system invariable to the pen. The more extreme pen normalization is the binarization...
Although Support Vector Machines(SVM) succeed in classifying several image databases using image descriptors proposed in the literature, no single descriptor can be optimal for general object categorization. This paper describes a novel framework to learn the optimal combination of kernels corresponding to multiple image descriptors before SVM training, leading to solve a quadratic programming problem...
Head pose estimation remains a unique challenge for computer vision system due to identity variation, illumination changes, noise, etc. Previous statistical approaches like PCA, linear discriminative analysis (LDA) and machine learning methods, including SVM and Adaboost, cannot achieve both accuracy and robustness that well. In this paper, we propose to use Gabor feature based random forests as the...
Facial Expression Recognition has mostly been done on frontal or near frontal faces. However, most of the faces in real life are non-frontal. This paper deals with in-plane rotation of faces in image sequences and considers the six universal facial expressions. The proposed approach does not need to rotate the image to frontal position. FER by rotating images to frontal is sensitive to determination...
