Data Mining in digital image processing using the Gabor filters algorithm

This paper presents a method of analysis and processing of digital images, with a particular interest in the technique that uses the set of Gabor mathematical functions (Gabor wavelet). It also proposes a method of image indexing and searching, according to the information contained in the image. This information is defined by a signature obtained using a Gabor filter. Medicine represents a possible field of application, as different types of images that appear in this area may be therefore analyzed: x-rays, ultrasounds, NMR, etc.
