Target detection with local discriminant bases and wavelets
Goran Kronquist, Henrik Storm · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1999
A local discrimination basis is selected among the possible wavelet packet bases in order to create a two-class classifier for high dimensional signals. We use the classifier for target detection in images and signals. The position of the target is also determined. A method invariant to the localization of the target in the analyzed image is developed in order to reduce the time complexity of the algorithm. We apply the method on mine detection in sonar images.
