Abstract

In this paper, a new descriptor based on phase congruency concept and LUV color space features is presented. Since the phase of the signal conveys more information regarding signal structure than the magnitude and the indispensable quality of the color in describing the world around us, the proposed descriptor can precisely identify and localize image features over the gradient based techniques, especially in the regions affected by illumination changes. The proposed features can be formed by extracting the phase congruency information for each pixel in the three-color image channels. The maximum phase congruency values are selected from the corresponding color channels. Histograms of the phase congruency values of the local regions in the image are computed with respect to its orientation. These histograms are concatenated to construct the proposed descriptor. Results of the experiments performed on the proposed descriptor show that it has better detection performance and lower error rates than a set of the state of the art feature extraction methodologies.
