Gabor filters: -
1.Are localized in both spatial and frequency
domain.
2.Extract image information necessary for
recognition.
3.Are known to emulate receptive fields of
human visual system.
Gabor Function
Since Gabor function responds optimally to
periodic stripe pattern (with wave length
(1/2) and orientation (), they are aptly suited
for recognizing text blocks, which may be
regarded as oriented stripe patterns.
(b) RBF Neural network
RBF Neural network
1.RBF Neural network fits an unknown function
using a weighted sum of Radially Symmetric
Functions e.g., Gaussians.
2.It has a three-layered architecture comprising
Input Layer
Hidden layer/RBF Layer/Kernel Layer
Output Layer
The output of the i
th
output node, f
i
(x), when an
input vector x is presented, is given by
Where
j
(x) = (||x x
j
||) is an RBF.
Where determines the width of the receptive
field, w
ij
are the second layer weights and x
j
s are
the mean vectors of RBFs. A method for training
RBF neural network is described in [17].
