Study Notes
Synthetic Image Noise
- Synthetic images with random noise (e.g., Gaussian) have wide-sense stationary properties.
- These noises exhibit a constant mean and their autocorrelation depends only on the pixel distance, not their absolute positions.
Gabor & Wavelet Scaling
- Wavelet scaling involves stretching or compressing the wavelet.
- Different scale factors affect the frequency: a smaller scale indicates higher frequency, while a larger scale represents lower frequency.
- Lower scales lead to compressed wavelets, capturing rapidly changing details, while higher scales reveal slowly changing, coarse features.
Shifting Wavelets
- Shifting a wavelet refers to altering its onset, represented mathematically as f(t-k).
- This operation changes when the wavelet starts impacting the image.
Directional Filtering
- Directional filtering enhances specific features in an image; for instance, a bookshelf image shows more response to vertical edges.
- Ordinary gradient filters serve as wavelets at various frequencies and directions.
Wavelet Analysis
- Wavelet analysis decomposes images into multiple scales using band-pass filters for frequency differentiation.
- High-frequency details are captured at finer scales, while low-frequency components emerge at coarser scales.
- Low-pass filtering reduces image resolution, generating pyramidal low-frequency representations.
- Multi-resolution representation can be achieved through fixed wavelet filters across different low-pass filtered images.
Gabor Filters
- Gabor filters consist of sine or cosine wavelets modulated by a Gaussian envelope, effective in image processing tasks like edge detection and texture analysis.
- These filters respond to specific frequencies and orientations, allowing detection of localized features within images.
- Varying the filter size (e.g., 17x17) can increase the frequency detection capability and filter directionality.
Gabor Filters in Python
- Functions such as
getGaborKernelare utilized in Python to create Gabor filters, whilefilter2Dconvolves these filters with images. - Parameters in
getGaborKernelcontrol wavelet frequency, direction, and Gaussian envelope width, allowing for a range of filter behaviors.
Gaussian Envelope Effects
- The standard deviation of the Gaussian envelope influences the filter's sensitivity; a smaller width results in sharper localization, while a larger width smooths the response.
- The phase parameter of the Gabor filter controls the phase of the wavelet, adjusting how the filter interacts with the image features.
Practical Application
- Practical applications of Gabor and wavelet filters are vital in computer vision, especially for analyzing textures and edge patterns, making them essential tools in image analysis.
