Cepstrum based feature extraction method for fungus detection
(SPIE, 2011) Yorulmaz, Onur; Pearson, T.C.; Çetin, A. Enis
In this paper, a method for detection of popcorn kernels infected by a fungus is developed using image processing. The method is based on two dimensional (2D) mel and Mellin-cepstrum computation from popcorn kernel images. Cepstral features that were extracted from popcorn images are classified using Support Vector Machines (SVM). Experimental results show that high recognition rates of up to 93.93% can be achieved for both damaged and healthy popcorn kernels using 2D mel-cepstrum. The success rate for healthy popcorn kernels was found to be 97.41% and the recognition rate for damaged kernels was found to be 89.43%. © 2011 Copyright Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Image quality assessment using two-dimensional complex mel-cepstrum
(SPIE, 2016) Cakir, S.; Çetin, A. Enis
Assessment of visual quality plays a crucial role in modeling, implementation, and optimization of image-and video-processing applications. The image quality assessment (IQA) techniques basically extract features from the images to generate objective scores. Feature-based IQA methods generally consist of two complementary phases: (1) feature extraction and (2) feature pooling. For feature extraction in the IQA framework, various algorithms have been used and recently, the two-dimensional (2-D) mel-cepstrum (2-DMC) feature extraction scheme has provided promising results in a feature-based IQA framework. However, the 2-DMC feature extraction scheme completely loses image-phase information that may contain high-frequency characteristics and important structural components of the image. In this work, "2-D complex mel-cepstrum" is proposed for feature extraction in an IQA framework. The method tries to integrate Fourier transform phase information into the 2-DMC, which was shown to be an efficient feature extraction scheme for assessment of image quality. Support vector regression is used for feature pooling that provides mapping between the proposed features and the subjective scores. Experimental results show that the proposed technique obtains promising results for the IQA problem by making use of the image-phase information.

Mel-and Mellin-cepstral feature extraction algorithms for face recognition
(Oxford University Press, 2011-01-17) Cakir, S.; Çetin, A. Enis
In this article, an image feature extraction method based on two-dimensional (2D) Mellin cepstrum is introduced. The concept of one-dimensional (1D) mel-cepstrum that is widely used in speech recognition is extended to two-dimensions using both the ordinary 2D Fourier transform and the Mellin transform. The resultant feature matrices are applied to two different classifiers such as common matrix approach and support vector machine to test the performance of the mel-cepstrum- and Mellin-cepstrum-based features. The AR face image database, ORL database, Yale database and FRGC database are used in experimental studies, which indicate that recognition rates obtained by the 2D mel-cepstrum-based method are superior to that obtained using 2D principal component analysis, 2D Fourier-Mellin transform and ordinary image matrix-based face recognition in both classifiers. Experimental results indicate that 2D cepstral analysis can also be used in other image feature extraction problems. © The Author 2010.

Mel-cepstral feature extraction methods for image representation
(S P I E - International Society for Optical Engineering, 2010-15-09) Çakir, S.; Çetin, A. Enis
An image feature extraction method based on the twodimensional (2-D) mel cepstrum is introduced. The concept of onedimensional mel cepstrum, which is widely used in speech recognition, is extended to 2-D in this article. The feature matrix resulting from the 2-D mel-cepstral analysis are applied to the support-vector-machine classifier with multi-class support to test the performance of the mel-cepstrum feature matrix. The AR, ORL, and Yale face databases are used in experimental studies, which indicate that recognition rates obtained by the 2-D mel-cepstrum method are superior to the recognition rates obtained using 2-D principal-component analysis and ordinary image-matrixbased face recognition. Experimental results show that 2-D mel-cepstral analysis can also be used in other image feature extraction problems. .

Mel-cepstral methods for image feature extraction
(IEEE, 2010) Çakır, Serdar; Çetin, A. Enis
A feature extraction method based on two-dimensional (2D) mel-cepstrum is introduced. The concept of one-dimensional (1D) mel-cepstrum which is widely used in speech recognition is extended to 2D in this article. Feature matrices resulting from the 2D mel-cepstrum, Fourier LDA, 2D PCA and original image matrices are converted to feature vectors and individually applied to a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification engine for comparison. The AR face database, ORL database, Yale database and FRGC version 2 database are used in experimental studies, which indicate that recognition rates obtained by the 2D mel-cepstrum method is superior to the recognition rates obtained using Fourier LDA, 2D PCA and ordinary image matrix based face recognition. This indicates that 2D mel-cepstral analysis can be used in image feature extraction problems. © 2010 IEEE.
