Abstract--This paper presents a new, simple, and efficient segmentation approach, based on a fusion procedure which aims at combining several segmentation maps associated to simple...
This paper presents a new Sobel-LBP, an extension of existing Local Binary Pattern (LBP), for facial image representation. The face image is filtered by Sobel operator to enhance ...
Raster maps are widely available and contain useful geographic features such as labels and road lines. To extract the geographic features, most research work relies on a manual st...
In this work, we present a novel approach to face recognition which considers both shape and texture information to represent face images. The face area is first divided into small...
In this paper, we propose a method for extracting image features which utilizes 2 nd order statistics, i.e., spatial and orientational auto-correlations of local gradients. It enab...
