by Fabio Ayres, Rangaraj Rangayyan, J.E. Leo Desautels
Part of the Synthesis Lectures on Biomedical Engineering series
Paperback / softback
Description
The presence of oriented features in images often conveys important information about the scene or the objects contained; the analysis of oriented patterns is an important task in the general framework of image understanding.
As in many other applications of computer vision, the general framework for the understanding of oriented features in images can be divided into low- and high-level analysis.
In the context of the study of oriented features, low-level analysis includes the detection of oriented features in images; a measure of the local magnitude and orientation of oriented features over the entire region of analysis in the image is called the orientation field.
High-level analysis relates to the discovery of patterns in the orientation field, usually by associating the structure perceived in the orientation field with a geometrical model.
This book presents an analysis of several important methods for the detection of oriented features in images, and a discussion of the phase portrait method for high-level analysis of orientation fields.
In order to illustrate the concepts developed throughout the book, an application is presented of the phase portrait method to computer-aided detection of architectural distortion in mammograms.
