Abstract
A general method based on the directional filter bank for the detection and enhancement of linear features in multidimensional data is presented. Results demonstrating the effectiveness of this new method are presented for two trial cases: the enhancement of cell boundaries in biomedical images, and the analysis and enhancement of fingerprints.>

Journal of the Optical Society of America AUncertainty relation for resolution in space, spatial frequency, and orientation optimized by two-dimensional visual cortical filters
3,165 Citations1985John Daugman
Evidence is presented that the 2D receptive-field profiles of simple cells in mammalian visual cortex are well described by members of this optimal 2D filter family, and thus such visual neurons could be said to optimize the general uncertainty relations for joint 2D-spatial-2D-spectral information resolution.

It is argued that the visual cortex representation corresponds closely to the Gabor scheme owing to its advantages in treating the subsequent problem of pattern recognition.
IEEE Transactions on Signal ProcessingA filter bank for the directional decomposition of images: theory and design
881 Citations1992R.H. Bamberger, M.J.T. Smith
A directionally oriented 2-D filter bank with the property that the individual channels may be critically sampled without loss of information is introduced and it is shown that these filter bank outputs may be maximally decimated to achieve a minimum sample representation in a way that permits the original signal to be exactly reconstructed.
IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and CyberneticsVisual cortical neurons as localized spatial frequency filters
315 Citations1983Daniel A. Pollen, Steven F. Ronner
The receptive field properties of neurons in the primary visual cortex, i.e. the striate cortex, are related to current issues in spatial visual information processing to consider two adjacent simple cell pairs as operating like paired Gaussian-attenuated sine and cosine filters of Gabor filters for restricted regions of visual space.
Pattern Recognition LettersLinear feature detection and enhancement in noisy images via the Radon transform
141 Citations1986Lesley M. Murphy
A new approach to the problem of detecting and enhancing linear features in noisy digital images is described, based on the Radon transform, which can be efficiently implemented on a general-purpose digital computer.
Proceedings of the IEEEFeature detection algorithm based on a visual system model
60 Citations2002Eli Peli
An algorithm for the detection of visually relevant luminance features is presented and is shown to be robust with respect to variations in filter parameters and requires no use of quadrature filters or Hilbert transforms.

20 Citations1987Eli Peli
An image processing algorithm was developed using basic "cells" that are well localized in both the space and spatial frequency domains and used both to detect the orientation of the striated pattern in a small window and to enhance the image in that orientation.
Efficient 2-D analysis/synthesis filter banks for directional image component representation

The design of the analysis/synthesis filter is such that the filter bank can be implemented in an extremely efficient computational form and thereby circumvents designing 2-D filters.
