As it is true for Gabor filter bank, the design of a filter bank consists of the selection of a proper set of values for the filter parameters. In this paper, it is intended to find a set of Gabor filter bank parameters optimized for the performance of texture classification system. The application method is suggested to compute Gabor filter parameters based on Genetic Algorithm (GA). The parameters are optimized according to each group of textures. We tested the proposed method with several texture images using a standard database.

However, the components often don’t strongly explain the dependent variables when filtering principal components in the independent variables. Therefore, the improved PCR with Rough Set is proposed to overcome the correlativity between the variables, which could choose the important parameters and reduce the unimportant parameters in the modeling of LCC.

Flatness is one of the most important features of rolled products, and it is used to estimate the final quality of the resulting product. Therefore, flatness control, which requires precise flatness measurements, is of vital importance during rolling. This work proposes a machine vision system for flatness measurement based on the projection of a laser stripe over the surface of the steel strip. The flatness measured cannot be used as easily as the feedback of the flatness control system due to the huge amount of information it contains. In order to solve this problem, a feature extraction method based on Legendre polynomial fit is also proposed.","PeriodicalId":315778,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Conference on Machine Vision","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126188866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our proposal, for Audio Watermarking, a Watermark is encrypted using RSA Algorithm and is embedded on the audio file using LSB technique. LSB technique is an old technique which is not very robust against attacks. Here, in audio watermarking we have embedded the encrypted watermark on the audio file, due to which removal of the watermark becomes least probable. This would give the technique a very high robustness. In the retrieval, the embedded watermark is retrieved and then decrypted. This method combines the robustness of Transform domain and simplicity of spatial domain methods. For image Watermarking, DWT technique is used. DWT technique is used in Image watermarking. Here, we have embedded the watermark in the image as a pseudo-noise sequence. This gives a remarkable security to the image file as only if the exact watermark is known can the embedded watermark be removed from the watermarked image.","PeriodicalId":315778,"journal":{"name":"2009 Second International Conference on Machine Vision","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114729190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the step of pre-processing, the scattered 3D points of a facial surface are normalized by surface fitting algorithm using multilevel B-splines approximation. Then, partial-ICP method is utilized to adjust 3D face model to be in the right front pose for a better recognition performance. By using the normalized facial depth image been acquired through the two previous steps, and by calculating the Gaussian and mean curvatures at each point, the surface types are classified and the classification result is used to mark different kinds of area on the facial depth image by 8 gray-levels. This achieved gray image is named as Surface Classification Image (SCI) and the SCI now represents the 3D features of the face and then it is input to the process of PCA to obtain the SCI eigenfaces to recognize the face.

Therefore, it is used to detect the image singularities (edges and ridges). In this paper, we have proposed three methods for texture segmentation, based on the HMT contourlet model. At first contourlet coefficient is computed and then, for each texture an HMT Contourlet model is trained for test phase, a set of decisions are made for each block of input image based on the maximum likelihood probability.
