%0 Journal Article %T Comparative Analysis of Wavelet-Based Scale-Invariant Feature Extraction Using Different Wavelet Bases %A Joohyun Lim %A Youngouk Kim %A Joonki Paik %J International Journal of Signal Processing, Image Processing and Pattern Recognition %D 2009 %I SERSC %X In this paper, we present comparative analysis of scale-invariant feature extraction using different wavelet bases. The main advantage of the wavelet transform is the multi-resolution analysis. Furthermore, wavelets enable localization in both space and frequency domains and high-frequency salient feature detection. Wavelet transforms can use various basis functions. This research aims at comparative analysis of Haar, Daubechies and Gabor wavelets for scale-invariant feature extraction. Experimental results show that Gabor wavelets outperform better than Haar, Daubechies wavelets in the sense of both objective and subjective measures. %K Haar %K Daubechies wavelets %K Gabor wavelets %K Feature extraction %K salient feature detection %U http://www.sersc.org/journals/IJSIP/vol2_no4/3.pdf
