본 논문에서는 임의의 모양을 가지는 영상 객체(image object)에 적용 가능한 모양적응 이산변환(PSADT : Polar coordinates shape adaptive discrete transform)에 기반한 새로운 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 대수-극 좌표계(log-polar coordinates)와 모양적응 이산변환을 이용하여 제안된 기법은 MPEG-4의 VOP와 같은 임의의 모양을 가지는 영상 객체에 적용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 기존 기법에 비하여 회전과 크기 변화와 같은 기하학적인 공격에 대하여 우수한 강인성을 제공한다.

In this paper, we propose a new opto-digital object recognition system which has rotation, scale, and shift invariant characteristics. The fourier power spectrum of the object image is modified to get shift invariance. The log-polar transform is used for rotation and scale invariance. And the decision of similarities is performed by nonlinear joint transform correlator (NJTC) that can control the ratio of phase and amplitude signals. Experimental verification of th eproposed optical object recognition system is presented.

In this paper, we propose new features for describing texture images by using multi-channel Gabor filter and log-polar transform based on human visual system (HVS). Gabor features are extracted by the mean and standard deviation of energy in Gabor response, followed by Fourier series extension. Log-polar features are extracted by log-polar transform and projection. The proposed texture descriptor performs reasonably well with less number of features than other texture descriptors, which has been verified by experiments using some texture images of MPEG-7 data set.

The Fourier-Mellin transform is the theoretical basis for the translation, rotation, and scale invariance of an image. However, its implementation requires a log-polar map of the original image, which requires logarithmic sampling of a radial variable in that image. This means that the mapping process is accompanied by considerable loss of data. To solve this problem, we propose a dual log-polar map that uses both a forward image map and a reverse image map simultaneously. Data loss due to the forward map sub-sampling can be offset by the reverse map. This is the first step in creating an invertible log-polar map. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

This paper presents a parametric line equation on the log-polar mapped plane to detect the straight lines in an original image. The log-polar edge image used in Hough transform is constructed by combining the edge images of both fovea and periphery. The foveal edge image detected by a Sobel mask on the Cartesian plane is transformed to the log-polar plane by forward mapping but the edge detection of the peripheral region is obtained by directly applying the newly developed mask to the log-polar plane. This paper also proposes a analytic method then determining a border between the fovea and the periphery regions.

Recently, Digital Watermarking is used to authenticate data and to determine whether the data are distorted or not in medical images which is digitalized. The Fourier Mellin method using the Fourier Transform and the Log-Polar coordinate transform gets an invariant feature for RST distortion in images. But there are several problems in the real materialization. Interpolation of the image value should be considered according to the pixel position and so a watermark loss, original image distortion, numerical approximation is happened. Therefore there should be solved to realization of the Fourier Mellin method. Using the Look up table, there reduce the data loss caused by the conversion between Rectangular and Polar coordinate. After diagnose, medical images are transformed the Polar coordinate and taken the Discrete Fourier transform in the center of ROI region. Maintaining the symmetry in Fourier magnitude coefficient, the gaussian distributed random vectors and binary images are embedded in medical images.

In this paper, we propose a new image-watermarking scheme lot arbitrarily shaped object based on Polar coordinates Shape Adaptive Discrete Transform (PSADT). Using log-polar coordinates conversion and shape adaptive discrete transform, the proposed watermarking method can be applied to any arbitrarily shaped image-object such as MPEG-4 VOP and is much more robust to geometrical attacks such as rotation and scaling than the conventional methods.

This paper presents a new parametric log line equation of polar form for Hough transform in log-polar plane, in which it can remove the well-known unboundedness problem of Hough parameters. Bolduc's method is used to generate a log-polar image dividing the fovea and periphery from a Cartesian image. Edges of the fovea and periphery are detected by using the Sobel mask and the proposed space-variant gradient mask, and are combined in the log-polar plane. The sampled points that might constitute a log line are quite sparse in a deep peripheral region due to severe under-sampling, which is an inherent property of LPM. To cope with such under-sampling, we determine the values of cumulative cells in Hough space by using the space-variant weighting. In our experiments, the proposed method demonstrates its validity of detecting not only the lines passing through both the fovea and periphery but also the lines in a deep periphery.

For the image processing system to be classified the selected object in the nature, the rotation, scale and transition invariant features is to be necessary. There are many investigations to get the information for the object processing system and the log-polar transform which is to be get the invariant feature for the scale and rotation is used. In this paper, we suggested the 2 points polar coordinate transform methods to measure the selected object position out of the center in input image including the centroid method. In this proposed system, the position results of objects are very good, and we obtained the similarity ratio 99~104% for the object coordinate values.

Rotated face detection is required in many applications but still remains as a challenging task, due to the large variations of face appearances. In this paper, a polar coordinate transform that is not affected by rotation is proposed. In addition, a method for effectively detecting rotated faces using the transformed image has been proposed. The proposed polar coordinate transform maintains spatial information between facial components such as eyes, mouth, etc., since the positions of facial components are always maintained regardless of rotation angle, thereby eliminating rotation effects. Polar coordinate transformed images are trained using AdaBoost, which is used for frontal face detection, and rotated faces are detected. We validate the detected faces using LBP that trained the non-face images. Experiments on 3600 face images obtained by rotating images in the BioID database show a rotating face detection rate of 96.17%. Furthermore, we accurately detected rotated faces in images with a background containing multiple rotated faces.
