What Is the Difference between Difference of Gaussian, Laplace of Gaussian, and Mexican Hat Wavelet?

There are three techniques used in CV that seem very similar to each other, but with subtle differences: Laplacian of Gaussian: $\nabla^2\left[g(x,y,t)\ast f(x,y)\right]$ Difference of Gaussians: $ \left[g_1(x,y,t)\ast f(x,y)\right] -…

Understanding SURF Features Calculation Process

So, I was reading the paper on SURF (Bay, Ess, Tuytelaars, Van Gool: Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF)) and I can not comprehend this paragraph below: Due to the use of box filters and integral images, we do not have to iteratively apply the same…

Image Pyramid Without Decimation

I have an image processing algorithm which uses Gaussian and Laplacian Pyramid Decomposition. At each level of the pyramid the algorithm decimates the previous level by a factor of 2. The LPF the algorithm uses is Gaussian. I was wondering whether I…

How to Combine Low and High Frequencies of Two Images in MATLAB?

I would like to combine two images A and B in the following way: 1) I want to take a Fourier transform of both of them 2) For image A I want to apply a weighted filter, which gives more emphasis for low frequencies 3) For image B I want to apply a…

Multi Scale Shape and Detail Enhancement from Multi Light Image Collections

I have been working on a practical implementation in Matlab of the algorithm Raanan Fattal suggested in the following paper. I couldn't understand the meaning of eq. 11 on page 5: \begin{equation}\begin{array}{llllll} U^{(i, j)}=g_{\sigma_{d}} *…

Difference between Sub Sampling and Down Scaling of Images

I know that there are many ways to upscale (interpolate) an image using bilinear, bicubic, sinc... Somehow, these same algorithms can also be used to downscale an image. But when it comes to subsampling, I've come across only two methods:…

2D Multi Scale Dot Enhancement Filter based on Gaussian Filter and Hessian Matrix

I'm trying to implement an algorithm that enhance dot and line like structures based on Hessian matrix, the algorithm uses Gaussian filter with different scales before calculating the hessian matrix for every pixel and later the Eigen values. I want…

At what stage do we compute the approximations and details while performing a DWT?

$$ \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}{f(t)\psi_{j,k}^\ast(t)dt}\ \textrm{with}\ \psi_{j,k}(t)\ =\ a_0^{-j/2}\psi(a_0^{-j}t\ -\ b_0k) $$ If this is the expression for the wavelet transform, how does this lead to wavelet decomposition and at what stage do we…

Creating a Gaussian Pyramid

I'm trying to recreate a gassuain pyramid using the following scales: There seems to be two concepts used here: 1) When an image is halved, applying a gaussian kernel of σ will apply as 2σ. 2) When an image has a scale of σ, and a gaussian kernel…

Is It Possible to Reconstruct the Original Image from Laplacian Pyramid?

In our computer vision course, my professor said we can reconstruct the original image from the Laplacian pyramid. It just feels to me that information is lost after doing subsampling and upsampling. Is it possible? If so, why? Are the…

How Do Steerable Pyramids Work?

I'm reading a paper about texture synthesis using pyramids, and the very first section mention two methods for constructing pyramids, one is the Laplacian Pyramid (which I'm quite familiar with), the other one is "steerable pyramid". I got the idea…

Blending artifacts in OpenCV image stitching

I am using OpenCV to blend a set of pre-warped images. As input I have some 4-channel images (*.png or *.tif) from where I can extract a bgr image and an alpha mask with the region related to the image (white) and the background (black). Both image…
