Abstract: To solve the multi-pose ear recognition problem under the different illumination condition, a novel method which combines phase congruency with kernel discriminant analysis (KDA) is proposed. The phase congruency of ear image is first calculated using Log-Gabor filter with 5 scales and 8 orientations, and then the phase congruency of different orientation is constructed as high dimensional vector including ample information. The high dimensional vector is mapped to kernel space to acquire discriminant feature. Experimental results show that the proposed method obtains higher recognition rate compared with the other related methods. The method of the phase congruency can eliminate the influence of illumination and phase congruency with KDA is effective to multi-pose ear recognition.

Abstract: To solve the difficult problem of human ear recognition caused by variety of ear angle, a novel method which combines hybrid filter with supervised locality preserving projection (SLPP) is proposed. The ear image is firstly filtered by Log-Gabor filter which is constructed with 5 scales and 8 orientations. The important parameters of Log-Gabor filter are selected through experiments. To form effective and discriminative feature too many Log-Gabor coefficients are reduced by discrete cosine transform. Lastly feature is constructed by SLPP to discovery geometrical rules. Experimental results show that compared with the traditional methods, the proposed method obtains higher recognition rate, and is robust to multi-pose of ear recognition.

Abstract: For the purpose of realizing fast and effective detection of defects of yarn-dyed fabric, and in consideration of the inherent characteristics of texture, i.e., color and structure, an approach for automatic defect detection is proposed in this paper. The image of yarn-dyed fabric to be enhanced is first converted from RGB true color space to L*a*b* color space. Then Log-gabor filters filter chromatic and brightness channels, and energy feature images are acquired after energy is fused between chromatic and brightness. Finally defects of yarn-dyed fabrics can be detected on the energy feature images using local binary patterns. The proposed method can detect colored and structural flaws. Experimental results for the defect detection from six kinds of yarn-dyed fabrics indicate that a high detection rate is achieved for the proposed method. It is fast enough to be possible for real-time application.

Abstract: This paper proposes the validity of a Gabor filter bank for feature extraction of solder joint images on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). A distance measure based on the Mahalanobis Cosine metric is also presented for classification of five different types of solder joints. From the experimental results, this methodology achieved high accuracy and a well generalised performance. This can be an effective method to reduce cost and improve quality in the production of PCBs in the manufacturing industry.
