Book excerpt: Abstract: "In this report, the Multiresolution Fourier Transform (MFT) is utilised as an approach to the segmentation of images based on the analysis of local properties in the spatial frequency domain. Six major steps are adopted to implement the segmentation of images in this work. Firstly, The Laplacian Pyramid method is used as the filter to create the high-pass filtered image. Secondly, Multiresolution Fourier Transform (MFT) is applied to transform the high-pass filtered image into a double- sized 'spectrum image' consisting of local spectra. Thirdly, a pair of representative centroid vectors are estimated as description of the local spectrum. Subsequently, the variances are utilised as a criterion to determine if the block of the image contains one or multiple features. A priori knowledge of the starting scale is not required. If a local region of the image at a lower resolution level is estimated to be containing multiple features, the algorithm goes to a higher resolution level and re- does the analysis until a single feature is found in the subblock or a specific level is reached. If a block containing single feature is identified, the next step is taken to extract the orientation and position of the feature in the block. Finally, the accuracy of the estimated position of the centroid of the local feature is checked."

This book was released on 1997 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "In this paper we propose a multiresolution Markov Random Field (MMRF) model for segmenting textured images. The Multiresolution Fourier Transform (MFT) is used to provide a set of spatially localised texture descriptors, which are based on a two-component model of texture, in which one component is a deformation, representing the structural or deterministic elements and the other is a stochastic one. Stochastic relaxation labelling is adopted to maximise the likelihood and assign the class label with highest probability to the block (site) being visited. Class information is propagated from low spatial resolution to high spatial resolution, via appropriate modifications to the interaction energies defining the field, to minimise class-position uncertainty. Experiments on the segmentation of natural textures are used to show the potential of the method."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introduction to image processing, an overview of the transforms which are most widely used in the field of image processing, and an introduction to the application of multiscale transforms in image processing. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part offering the reader a basic introduction to image processing. The second part of the book starts with a chapter on Fourier analysis and Fourier transforms, wavelet analysis, and ends with a chapter on new multiscale transforms. The final part of the book deals with all of the most important applications of multiscale transforms in image processing. The chapters consist of both tutorial and highly advanced material, and as such the book is intended to be a reference text for graduate students and researchers to obtain state-of-the-art knowledge on specific applications. The technique of solving problems in the transform domain is common in applied mathematics and widely used in research and industry, but is a somewhat neglected subject within the undergraduate curriculum. It is hoped that faculty can use this book to create a course that can be offered early in the curriculum and fill this void. Also, the book is intended to be used as a reference manual for scientists who are engaged in image processing research, developers of image processing hardware and software systems, and practising engineers and scientists who use image processing as a tool in their applications.

This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for use in the teaching of graduate and senior undergraduate courses on multiresolution signal and geometry processing in the engineering and related disciplines. It has been used for several years for teaching purposes in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Victoria and has been well received by students. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to multiresolution signal and geometry processing, with a focus on both theory and applications. The book has two main components, corresponding to multiresolution processing in the contexts of: 1) signal processing and 2) geometry processing. The signal-processing component of the book studies one-dimensional and multi-dimensional multirate systems, considering multirate structures such as sampling-rate converters, filter banks, and transmultiplexers. A particularly strong emphasis is placed on filter banks. Univariate and multivariate wavelet systems are examined, with the biorthogonal and orthonormal cases both being considered. The relationship between filter banks and wavelet systems is established. Several applications of filter banks and wavelets in signal processing are covered, including signal coding, image compression, and noise reduction. For readers interested in image compression, a detailed overview of the JPEG-2000 standard is also provided. Some other applications of multirate systems are considered, such as transmultiplexers for communication systems (e.g., multicarrier modulation). The geometry-processing component of the book studies subdivision surfaces and subdivision wavelets. Some mathematical background relating to geometry processing is provided, including topics such as homogeneous coordinate transformations, manifolds, surface representations, and polygon meshes. Several subdivision schemes are examined in detail, including the Loop, Kobbelt sqrt(3), and Catmull-Clark methods. The application of subdivision surfaces in computer graphics is considered. A detailed introduction to functional analysis is provided, for those who would like a deeper understanding of the mathematics underlying wavelets and filter banks. For those who are interested in software applications of the material covered in the book, appendices are included that introduce the CGAL and OpenGL libraries. Also, an appendix on the SPL library (which was developed for use with this book) is included. Throughout the book, many worked-through examples are provided. Problem sets are also provided for each major topic covered.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "A novel method of segmenting images into regions which contain linear or circular arc features is presented. The feature models are based upon spectral properties, local estimates of which are provided, over a range of scales, by the Multiresolution Fourier Transform (MFT). The algorithm ensures that detected features both accurately model the data and are consistent across scale. A method of combining the primitive line and arc segments into more complex features is also considered. Some results from application of the algorithm to a number of natural and synthetic images are presented to illustrate its effectiveness in practical applications."

Download or read book Detection of Salient Objects in Images Using Frequency Domain and Deep Convolutional Features written by Masoumeh Rezaei Abkenar and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In image processing and computer vision tasks such as object of interest image segmentation, adaptive image compression, object based image retrieval, seam carving, and medical imaging, the cost of information storage and computational complexity is generally a great concern. Therefore, for these and other applications, identifying and focusing only on the parts of the image that are visually most informative is much desirable. These most informative parts or regions that also have more contrast with the rest of the image are called the salient regions of the image, and the process of identifying them is referred to as salient object detection. The main challenges in devising a salient object detection scheme are in extracting the image features that correctly differentiate the salient objects from the non-salient ones, and then utilizing them to detect the salient objects accurately. Several salient object detection methods have been developed in the literature using spatial domain image features. However, these methods generally cannot detect the salient objects uniformly or with clear boundaries between the salient and non-salient regions. This is due to the fact that in these methods, unnecessary frequency content of the image get retained or the useful ones from the original image get suppressed. Frequency domain features can address these limitations by providing a better representation of the image. Some salient object detection schemes have been developed based on the features extracted using the Fourier or Fourier like transforms. While these methods are more successful in detecting the entire salient object in images with small salient regions, in images with large salient regions these methods have a tendency to highlight the boundaries of the salient region rather than doing so for the entire salient region. This is due to the fact that in the Fourier transform of an image, the global contrast is more dominant than the local ones. Moreover, it is known that the Fourier transform cannot provide simultaneous spatial and frequency localization. It is known that multi-resolution feature extraction techniques can provide more accurate features for different image processing tasks, since features that might not get extracted at one resolution may be detected at another resolution. However, not much work has been done to employ multi-resolution feature extraction techniques for salient object detection. In view of this, the objective of this thesis is to develop schemes for image salient object detection using multi-resolution feature extraction techniques both in the frequency domain and the spatial domain. The first part of this thesis is concerned with developing salient object detection methods using multi-resolution frequency domain features. The wavelet transform has the ability of performing multi-resolution simultaneous spatial and frequency localized analysis, which makes it a better feature extraction tool compared to the Fourier or other Fourier like transforms. In this part of the thesis, first a salient object detection scheme is developed by extracting features from the high-pass coefficients of the wavelet decompositions of the three color channels of images, and devising a scheme for the weighted linear combination of the color channel features. Despite the advantages of the wavelet transform in image feature extraction, it is not very effective in capturing line discontinuities, which correspond to directional information in the image. In order to circumvent the lack of directional flexibility of the wavelet-based features, in this part of the thesis, another salient object detection scheme is also presented by extracting local and global features from the non-subsampled contourlet coefficients of the image color channels. The local features are extracted from the local variations of the low-pass coefficients, whereas the global features are obtained based on the distribution of the subband coefficients afforded by the directional flexibility provided by the non-subsampled contourlet transform. In the past few years, there has been a surge of interest in employing deep convolutional neural networks to extract image features for different applications. These networks provide a platform for automatically extracting low-level appearance features and high-level semantic features at different resolutions from the raw images. The second part of this thesis is, therefore, concerned with the investigation of salient object detection using multiresolution deep convolutional features. The existing deep salient object detection schemes are based on the standard convolution. However, performing the standard convolution is computationally expensive specially when the number of channels increases through the layers of a deep network. In this part of the thesis, using a lightweight depthwise separable convolution, a deep salient object detection network that exploits the fusion of multi-level and multi-resolution image features through judicious skip connections between the layers is developed. The proposed deep salient object detection network is aimed at providing good performance with a much reduced complexity compared to the existing deep salient object detection methods. Extensive experiments are conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed salient object detection methods by applying them to the natural images from several datasets. It is shown that the performance of the proposed methods are superior to that of the existing methods of salient object detection.
