The existing steganalysis method based on 2D Gabor filters can achieve a competitive detection performance for content-adaptive JPEG steganography. However, the feature dimensionality is still high and the time-consuming of feature extraction is relatively large because the optimal selection is not performed for 2D Gabor filters. To solve this problem, a new steganalysis method is proposed for content-adaptive JPEG steganography by selecting the optimal 2D Gabor filters. For the proposed method, the 2D Gabor filters with different parameter settings are generated first. Then, the feature is extracted by each 2D Gabor filter and the corresponding detection accuracy is used as the measure for filter selection. Next, some 2D Gabor filters are selected by a greedy strategy and the steganalysis feature is extracted by the selected filters. Last, the ensemble classifier is used to assemble the proposed steganalysis feature as well as the final steganalyzer. The experimental results show that the steganalysis feature extracted by the selected optimal 2D Gabor filters also can achieve a competitive detection performance while the feature dimensionality is reduced greatly.

Extracting primitives from imagery plays an important task in visual information processing since the primitives provide useful information about characteristics of the objects and patterns. The human visual system utilizes features without difficulty for image interpretation, scene analysis and object recognition. However, to extract and to analyze feature are difficult processing. The ultimate goal of digital image processing is to extract information and reconstruct objects automatically. The objective of this study is to develop robust method to achieve the goal of the image processing. In this study, an adaptive strategy was developed by implementing Gabor filters in order to extract feature information and to segment images. The Gabor filters are conceived as hypothetical structures of the retinal receptive fields in human vision system. Therefore, to develop a method which resembles the performance of human visual perception is possible using the Gabor filters. A method to compute appropriate parameters of the Gabor filters without human visual inspection is proposed. The entire framework is based on the theory of human visual perception. Digital images were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy. The results show that the proposed adaptive approach improves performance of the Gabor filters for feature extraction and segmentation.

This paper presents a method for facial feature representation and recognition from the Covariance Matrices of the Gabor-filtered images. Gabor filters are a very powerful tool for processing images that respond to different local orientations and wave numbers around points of interest, especially on the local features on the face. This is a very unique attribute needed to extract special features around the facial components like eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose. The Covariance matrices computed on Gabor filtered faces are adopted as the feature representation for face recognition. Geodesic distance measure is used as a matching measure and is preferred for its global consistency over other methods. Geodesic measure takes into consideration the position of the data points in addition to the geometric structure of given face images. The proposed method is invariant and robust under rotation, pose, or boundary distortion. Tests run on random images and also on publicly available JAFFE and FRAV3D face recognition databases provide impressively high percentage of recognition.

Gabor 코사인과 사인 함수는 인간시각 필터를 설명하기 위해서 많이 사용된다. 이 함수들로 영상주파수 성분을 국부적으로 표현하는 새로운 방법을 본 논문에서 제안한다. 직류 맥류와 계단입력에 대한 사이드 로브의 강도에 기초하여 기저함수의 변수들을 선택한다. Gabor 코사인과 사인으로 구성되는 결과적인 변환에 대해서 결합유효폭을 계산하고, 한정된 변환 계수만으로 영상을 복원하여 기존의 방법과 비교 검토한다. 제안한 변환이 DGT와 DCT보다 더 좋은 성능 결과를 나타낸다.

As the exploration of the seabed is extended ever further, automated recognition and classification of sonar images become increasingly important. However, most of the methods ignore the directional information and its effect on the image textures produced. To deal with this problem, we apply 2D Gabor filters to extract the features of sonar images. The filters are designed with constrained parameters to reduce the complexity and to improve the calculation efficiency. Meanwhile, at each orientation, the optimal Gabor filter parameters will be selected with the help of bandwidth parameters based on the Fisher criterion. This method can overcome some disadvantages of the traditional approaches of extracting texture features, and improve the recognition rate effectively.

A Gabor filter is a linear filter used for edge detectionas frequency and orientation representations of Gabor filters are similar to those of the human visual system. In this thesis, we propose a pedestrian detection algorithm using a Gabor filter bank. In order to extract the features of the pedestrian, we use various image processing algorithms and data structure algorithms. First, color image segmentation is performed to consider the information of the RGB color space. Second, histogram equalization is performed to enhance the brightness of the input images. Third, convolution is performed between a Gabor filter bank and the enhanced images. Fourth, statistical values are calculated by using the integral image (summed area table) method. The calculated statistical values are used for the feature matrix of the pedestrian area. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, the INRIA pedestrian database and SVM (Support Vector Machine) are used, and we compare the proposed algorithm and the HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradient) pedestrian detector, presentlyreferred to as the methodology of pedestrian detection algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is more accurate compared to the HOG pedestrian detector.

본 논문에서는 사람의 생태학적, 행동학적 특성을 이용하여 개인을 인식하는 생체인식 기법의 하나인 홍채인식을 다루었다. 사람의 홍채는 태어날 때 한번 정해지면 평생 변화하지 않는 특성을 가지고 있으며, 개개인별로 모양이 모두 다른 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 홍채영상 취득시 조명에 의한 동공의 크기 변화에 민감하지 않은 2차원의 홍채패턴을 취득하고, 2D Gabor 필터와 48개의 분할된 섹터로부터 특징 값을 추출한다. 인식과정에서는 correlation 계수를 이용하여 서로 다른 홍채의 특징 값에 대해 유사도를 측정하고 가장 큰 값을 갖는 대상을 찾게 되는데, 이때, 3개의 필터를 거쳐 얻어진 영상에 대해 최고의 값을 인식 대상자로 인정하므로 오인식 될 확률을 최소화 할 수 있다. 제안한 알고리듬의 유용성을 확인하기 위해 대상자 10명에 대해 5회씩 촬영한 데이터베이스에 대해 실험한 결과 90% 이상의 높은 인식률을 얻었다.

Content-based image retrieval is the research of images from database, that are visually similar to given image examples. Gabor functions and Gabor filters are regarded as excellent methods for feature extraction and texture segmentation. However, they have a disadvantage not to perform well in case of a rotated image because of its direction-oriented filter. This paper proposes a method of extracting local texture features from blocks with central interest points detected in an image and a rotation invariant Gabor wavelet filter. We also propose a method of comparing pattern histograms of features classified by VQ (Vector Quantization) among images.

This paper proposes a new automatic detection method to inspect mura defects on display film surface using morphological image processing and labeling. This automatic detection method for mura defects on display films comprises 3 phases of preprocessing with morphological image processing, Gabor filtering, and labeling. Since distorted results could be obtained with the presence of non-uniform illumination, preprocessing step reduces illumination components using morphological image processing. In Gabor filtering, mura images are created with binary coded mura components using Gabor filters. Subsequently, labeling is a final phase of finding the mura defect area using the difference between large mura defects and values in the periphery. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed detection method, detection rate was assessed by applying the method in 200 display film samples. As a result, the detection rate was high at about 95.5%. Moreover, the study was able to acquire reliable results using the Semu index for luminance mura in image quality inspection.
