Image Processing in Pattern Recognition
Preprocessing Techniques
- Filtering is used to remove noise and enhance image quality, with types including mean filter, median filter, and Gaussian filter
- Normalization adjusts image intensity and contrast, using methods such as histogram equalization and contrast stretching
- Thresholding separates objects from the background, with techniques including global thresholding, local thresholding, and adaptive thresholding
Feature Extraction
Edge Detection
- Edge detection identifies boundaries between objects, using operators such as Sobel, Canny, and Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG)
- The Sobel operator detects edges in the horizontal and vertical directions
- The Canny operator uses the gradient operator to detect edges
- The Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) operator detects edges using a Gaussian filter
Corner Detection
- Corner detection identifies points of high curvature, using methods such as the Harris corner detector and Shi-Tomasi corner detector
- The Harris corner detector uses the gradient of the image to detect corners
- The Shi-Tomasi corner detector improves upon the Harris corner detector
Shape Features
- Shape features describe object shape, size, and orientation, including features such as area, perimeter, eccentricity, and circularity
- Area measures the size of the object
- Perimeter measures the distance around the object
- Eccentricity measures the shape of the object
- Circularity measures the roundness of the object
Object Recognition
Template Matching
- Template matching compares image patches to templates, using methods such as normalized cross-correlation and sum of squared differences
- Normalized cross-correlation measures the similarity between two images
- Sum of squared differences measures the difference between two images
Feature-Based Methods
- Feature-based methods use feature vectors for recognition, including techniques such as bag-of-words and support vector machines (SVM)
- Bag-of-words represents images as a collection of features
- Support vector machines (SVM) classify images based on feature vectors
Deep Learning
- Deep learning uses convolutional neural networks (CNN) for object recognition
- LeNet is a classic CNN architecture
- AlexNet is a deeper CNN architecture
- VGGNet is a deeper CNN architecture with more layers
Applications
- Image classification assigns labels to images
- Object detection locates objects within images
- Image segmentation separates objects from the background
- Image retrieval searches for similar images
