Abstract

We describe a method for labelling image structure based on non-linear scale-orientation signatures which can be used as a basis for robust pixel classification. The effect of normalisation of the signatures is discussed as a means to improve classification robustness with respect to grey-level variations. In addition, model data selection and scale normalisation are investigated as a means to improve the robustness of detection with respect to the scale of structures.
