A new transform is presented that utilizes local radial symmetry to highlight points of interest within a scene and is seen to offer equal or superior performance to contemporary techniques at a relatively low-computational cost.
Abstract
A new transform is presented that utilizes local radial symmetry to highlight points of interest within a scene. Its low-computational complexity and fast runtimes makes this method well-suited for real-time vision applications. The performance of the transform is demonstrated on a wide variety of images and compared with leading techniques from the literature. Both as a facial feature detector and as a generic region of interest detector the new transform is seen to offer equal or superior performance to contemporary techniques at a relatively low-computational cost. A real-time implementation of the transform is presented running at over 60 frames per second on a standard Pentium III PC.

Local isotropic phase symmetry measure for detection of beta cells and lymphocytes.

TL;DR: Experimental results show that the algorithm performs better than human experts for detection of two types of specific cells in histology images, cells in mouse pancreatic sections and lymphocytes in human breast tissue, and outperforms the best reported results for the latter.

Use of the Hough transformation to detect lines and curves in pictures

TL;DR: It is pointed out that the use of angle-radius rather than slope-intercept parameters simplifies the computation further, and how the method can be used for more general curve fitting.

Algorithms for defining visual regions-of-interest: comparison with eye fixations

TL;DR: This paper investigates and develops a methodology that serves to automatically identify a subset of aROIs (algorithmically detected ROIs) using different image processing algorithms (IPAs), and appropriate clustering procedures, and compares hROIs with hROI as a criterion for evaluating and selecting bottom-up, context-free algorithms.
