Abstract
In a process of insect foot recognition, footprint segments as basic areas for recognition need to be extracted from scanned insect footprints and appropriate features should be found from the footprint segments in order to discriminate kinds of insects, because the characteristics of the features are important to classify insects. In this paper, we propose methods for automatic footprint segmentation and feature extraction. We use a Trace transform method in order to find out appropriate features from the extracted segments by the above methods. The Trace transform method builds a new type of data structure from the segmented images by functions using parallel trace lines and the new type of data structure has characteristics invariant to translation, rotation and reflection of images. This data structure is converted to Triple features by Diametric and Circus functions, and the Triple features are used for discriminating patterns of insect footprints. In this paper, we show that the Triple features found by the proposed methods are enough distinguishable and appropriate for classifying kinds of insects.
