bicv / SparseEdges

A framework to build a sparse representation of edges in images.

What is the SparseEdges package?

Our goal here is to build practical algorithms of sparse coding for computer vision.

This class exploits the SLIP and LogGabor libraries to provide with a sparse representation of edges in images.

This algorithm was presented in the following paper, which is available as a reprint @ https://laurentperrinet.github.io/publication/perrinet-15-bicv/ :

This package gives a python implementation.

Moreover, it gives additional tools to compute useful statistics in images; first- and second order statistics of co-occurrences in images.
