Comparative Analysis of Wavelet-Based Scale-Invariant Feature Extraction Using Different Wavelet Bases

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.
