Análise multiescala de formas planas baseada em estatísticas da transformada de Hough

Abstract

Atualmente, dada a difusão dos computadores, a tarefa de se reconhecer padrões visuais está sendo cada vez mais automatizada, em especial para tratar a vasta e crescente quantidade de imagens digitais existentes. Aplicações de diversas áreas como biometria, recuperação de imagens baseada em conteúdo e diagnóstico médico, se valem do processamento de imagens, bem como de técnicas de extração e análise de características das mesmas, a fim de identificar pessoas, objetos, gestos, textos, etc. As características básicas que são utilizadas para a análise de imagens são: cor, textura e forma. Recentemente, foi proposto um novo descritor de formas denominado HTS (Hough Transform Statistics), o qual se baseia no espaço de Hough para representar e reconhecer objetos em imagens por suas formas. Os resultados obtidos pelo HTS sobre bases de imagens públicas têm mostrado que este novo descritor, além de apresentar altas taxas de acurácia, melhores do que muitos descritores tradicionais propostos na literatura, é rápido, pois tem um algoritmo de complexidade linear. O objetivo deste trabalho foi explorar as possibilidades de representação multiescala do HTS e, assim, propor novos descritores de formas. Escala é um parâmetro essencial em Visão Computacional e a teoria de espaço-escala refere-se ao espaço formado quando se observa, simultaneamente, os aspectos espaciais de uma imagem em várias escalas, sendo a escala a terceira dimensão. Os novos métodos multiescala propostos foram avaliados sobre várias bases de dados e seus desempenhos foram comparados com o desempenho do HTS e com os principais descritores de formas encontrados na literatura. Resultados experimentais mostraram que os novos descritores propostos neste trabalho são mais rápidos e em alguns casos também mais precisos.

Currently, given the widespread of computers through society, the task of recognizing visual patterns is being more and more automated, in particular to treat the large and growing amount of digital images available. Applications in many areas, such as biometrics, content-based image retrieval, and medical diagnostic, make use of image processing, as well as techniques for the extraction and analysis of their characteristics, in order to identify persons, objects, gestures, texts, etc. The basic features that are used for image analysis are: color, texture and shape. Recently, it was proposed a new shape descriptor called HTS (Hough Transform Statistics), which is based on the Hough space to represent and recognize objects in images by their shapes. The results obtained by HTS on public image databases have shown that this new shape descriptor, besides showing high accuracy levels, better than many traditional shape descriptors proposed in the literature, is fast, since it has an algorithm of linear complexity. In this dissertation we explored the possibilities of a multiscale and scale-space representation of this new shape descriptor. Scale is a key parameter in Computer Vision and the theory of scale-space refers to the space formed when observing, simultaneously, special aspects of an image at several scales, being the scale the third dimension. The multiscale HTS methods were evaluated on the same databases and their performances were compared with the main shape descriptors found in the literature and with the monoscale HTS. Experimental results showed that these new descriptors are faster and can also be more accurate in some cases.
