CENTERED FEATURES FROM INTEGRAL IMAGES

Abstract: An essential tool for fast image processing is the computation of image features. Integral Images are a popular approach to obtain this goal. A drawback of this technique is that it only allows for rectangular image features. In this paper, the goal is to investigate if circular image features outperform rectangular image features using integral image approach. Additionally, experimental work for the purpose of comparison between different and new descriptor methods has also been presented in this paper.
