General model for linear information extraction based on the shear transformation

Abstract Most images have lots of linear information, which plays an important role in the tasks of image processing and pattern recognition. However, due to the interference of complex background in the images, the multiple directional characteristics of the linear information, and the problems of directional limitations in traditional methods, all these lead to the incomplete and discontinuities existed in the extracted linear information. To solve these problems, this paper puts forward a general model for improving the performance of the linear information extraction methods (LIEM) by utilizing the shear transformation. In this model, the shear transformation can transform an object (a filter or an image) in multiple directions, which directly or indirectly increases the directional characteristics of the traditional LIEM, and improves their performances to extract directional linear information and weak linear information. This paper elaborates on the basic principles of the model and its two implementations for the specific tasks. Furthermore, a variety of experiments are made to verify the versatility and effectiveness of the proposed model.
