Wood Species Recognition Based on SIFT Keypoint Histogram
Traditionally, only experts who are equipped with professional knowledge and rich experience are able to recognize different species of wood. Applying image processing techniques for wood species recognition can not only reduce the expense to train qualified identifiers, but also increase the recognition accuracy. In this paper, a wood species recognition technique base on Scale Invariant Feature Transformation (SIFT) keypoint histogram is proposed. We use first the SIFT algorithm to extract keypoints from wood cross section images, and then k-means and k-means++ algorithms are used for clustering. Using the clustering results, an SIFT keypoints histogram is calculated for each wood image. Furthermore, several classification models, including Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) are used to verify the performance of the method. Finally, through comparing with other prevalent wood recognition methods such as GLCM and LBP, results show that our scheme achieves higher accuracy.

Robust Palm-Vein Recognition Using the MMD Filter: Improving SIFT-Based Feature Matching
A major challenge with palm vein images is that slight movements of the fingers and thumb, or variations in hand posture, can stretch the skin in different areas and alter the vein patterns. This can result in an infinit…
Dirichlet-based Histogram Feature Transform for Image Classification
Histogram-based features have significantly contributed to recent development of image classifications, such as by SIFT local descriptors. In this paper, we propose a method to efficiently transform those histogram featu…
