JFeatureLib 1.3.2

JFeatureLib is a free and open-source library which provides implementations for several kinds of image features and also several interesting point/region detectors.

JFeatureLib does not focus on certain features starts with the most common features/detectors and extends to more unusual descriptors and detectors.

Detailed instructions on how to install and use the JFeatureLib utility on your Mac are available HERE.

JFeatureLib is a cross-platform utility capable of running on any operating system that comes with Java support (e.g. Mac OS X, Windows, Linux).

Here are some key features of "JFeatureLib":

Image Features:
· Haralick Texture Features (Wikipedia, Google Scholar)
· Histograms are implemented in de.lmu.dbs.jfeaturelib.features.Histogram
· Gray-Histogram
· RGB Histogram, including possibility to only extract Red, Green or Blue histograms
· HSB Histogram, including possibility to only extract Hue, Saturation or Brightness histograms
· CEDD
· FCTH
· Fuzzy Histogram
· Gabor
· JCD
· Tamura
· Sift Wrapper for the SIFT binary. The binary can be obtained here
· SURF
· PHOG descriptor. Pyramid Histograms of Oriented Gradients (paper)
· Statistical Moments. The first 4 statistical moments: Mean, Standard Deviation, Skewneess and Kurtosis
· Rectangle Features Differences of certain rectangular regions within an image (p. 139)

Point Detectors:
· Harris Corner Detector
· Moravec
· Trajkovic And Hedley
· FAST - (paper)

Edge Detectors:
· Sobel-Operator (in edgeDetector.Kernel)
· Scharr-Operator (in edgeDetector.Kernel)
