	abstract =	{Based on phase information, a novel image feature
	detector--symmetry phase congruency (SPC) is introduced. It is
	consistent with the characteristics of human visual systems. SPC is
	calculated based on log Gabor wavelet. It uses the phase information
	and is invariant to image illumination and contrast. SPC can detect the
	features in Mach bands and in sinusoidal grating. This cannot be done
	simply by looking for local maxima in intensity gradient or by looking
	for local energy maxima. Compared with phase congruency (PC), the
	advantages of SPC are demonstrated.},
