In this paper, we present a novel feature extraction method based on Gabor filter and Recursive Fisher Linear Discriminate (RFLD) algorithm, which is used for fingerprint identification. Our proposed method is assessed on images from the biolab database. Experimental results show that applying RFLD to a Gabor filter in four orientations, in comparison with Gabor filter and PCA transform, increases the identification accuracy from 85.2% to 95.2% by nearest cluster center point classifier with Leave-One-Out method. Also, it has shown that applying RFLD to a Gabor filter in four orientations, in comparison with Gabor filter and PCA transform, increases the identification accuracy from 81.9% to 100% by 3NN classifier. The proposed method has lower computational complexity and higher accuracy rates than conventional methods based on texture features.","PeriodicalId":443926,"journal":{"name":"2009 Seventh International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128859458","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}

The requirements for a correct quantitative colour polar representation are recalled. They lead to using norms, and in particular the L1 norm. Colour images are multivariable functions, and for segmenting them one must go through reducing step. It is classically obtained by calculating a gradient module,which is then segmented as a gray tone image. An alternative solution is proposed in the paper. It is based on separated segmentations, followed by final merging into a unique partition. The generalization of the top-hat transformation for extracting colour details is also considered. These new marginal colour operators take advantage of an adaptive combination of the chromatic and the achromatic (or the spectral and the spatio-geometric) colour components. Examples in feature extraction from geographical maps are given.","PeriodicalId":443926,"journal":{"name":"2009 Seventh International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130146292","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}

A symbol can be defined as a structure within document that has a particular meaning in the context of the application. Due to their representational power, graph structures are usually used to represent line drawings images.An accurate vectorization constitutes a first approach to solve this goal. But vectorization only gives the segments constituting the document and their geometrical attributes.Interpreting a document such as P&ID (Process & Instrumentation)diagram requires an additional stage viz. recognition of symbols in terms of its shape. Usually a P&ID diagram contain several types of elements, symbols and structural connectivity. For those symbols that can be defined by a prototype pattern, we propose an iterative learning strategy based on Hopfield model to learn the symbols, for subsequent recognition in the P&ID diagram. In a typical shape recognition problem one has to account for transformation invariance. Here the transformation invariance is circumvented by using an iterative learning approach which can learn symbols with high degree of correlation.","PeriodicalId":443926,"journal":{"name":"2009 Seventh International Conference on Advances in Pattern Recognition","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130496749","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}

Iris features are obtained by computing energies and standard deviation of detailed coefficients in 12 directions per stage, at 3 levels of decomposition. Canberra distance is used for matching. The results are obtained using DWT, CWT combination of CWT and RCWT on UBIRIS database of 2400 images. The performance measure, ZeroFAR, is reduced from 6.3 using DWT to 2.7 using proposed method.
