Gabor filter responses are general purpose features for computer vision and image processing and have been very successful in many application areas, for example in biometric authentication (fingerprint matching, face detection, face recognition and iris recognition). In a typical feature construction, filters are utilised as a multi-resolution structure of several filters tuned to different frequencies and orientations. The multi-resolution structure is similar to wavelets, but the non-orthogonality of Gabor functions implies the main weakness: computational heaviness. The high computational complexity prevents their use in many real-time or near real-time tasks. In this study, an efficient sequential computation method for multi-resolution Gabor features is presented.
