GLCM-based chi-square histogram distance for automatic detection of defects on patterned textures
Chi-square histogram distance is one of the distance measures that can be
used to find dissimilarity between two histograms. Motivated by the fact that
texture discrimination by human vision system is based on second-order
statistics, we make use of histogram of gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM)
that is based on second-order statistics and propose a new machine vision
algorithm for automatic defect detection on patterned textures. Input defective
images are split into several periodic blocks and GLCMs are computed after
quantizing the gray levels from 0-255 to 0-63 to keep the size of GLCM compact
and to reduce computation time. Dissimilarity matrix derived from chi-square
distances of the GLCMs is subjected to hierarchical clustering to automatically
identify defective and defect-free blocks. Effectiveness of the proposed method
is demonstrated through experiments on defective real-fabric images of 2 major
wallpaper groups (pmm and p4m groups).Comment: IJCVR, Vol. 2, No. 4, 2011, pp. 302-31
Extraction of Projection Profile, Run-Histogram and Entropy Features Straight from Run-Length Compressed Text-Documents
Document Image Analysis, like any Digital Image Analysis requires
identification and extraction of proper features, which are generally extracted
from uncompressed images, though in reality images are made available in
compressed form for the reasons such as transmission and storage efficiency.
However, this implies that the compressed image should be decompressed, which
indents additional computing resources. This limitation induces the motivation
to research in extracting features directly from the compressed image. In this
research, we propose to extract essential features such as projection profile,
run-histogram and entropy for text document analysis directly from run-length
compressed text-documents. The experimentation illustrates that features are
extracted directly from the compressed image without going through the stage of
decompression, because of which the computing time is reduced. The feature
values so extracted are exactly identical to those extracted from uncompressed
images.Comment: Published by IEEE in Proceedings of ACPR-2013. arXiv admin note: text
