Multi-Resolution Local Binary Pattern for Assessing Cervical Ripening
نویسندگان
چکیده
Labor induction is defined as the artificial onset of labor for the purpose of vaginal birth. Cesarean section is one of the potential risk of labor induction as it occur in about 20% of the inductions. A ripe cervix (soft and distensible) is needed for a successful labor. During the ripening cervical tissues experience micro structural changes: collagen becomes disorganized and water content increases. It is expected that these changes will affect the interaction between cervical tissues and the sound waves during ultrasound transvaginal scanning and will be perceived as gray level intensity variations in the echographic image. Texture analysis can be used to analyze these variations and provide a means to evaluate cervical ripening in a non-invasive way. In this paper we analyze a set of Transvaginal Ultrasound (TVU) images using a multiresolution Local Binary Pattern to study their textures for classification purposes.

Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...
متن کاملBoosted multi-resolution spatiotemporal descriptors for facial expression recognition
Recently, a spatiotemporal local binary pattern operator from three orthogonal planes (LBP-TOP) was proposed for describing and recognizing dynamic textures and applied to facial expression recognition. In this paper, we extend the LBP-TOP features to multi-resolution spatiotemporal space and use them for describing facial expressions. AdaBoost is utilized to learn the principal appearance and ...

Local binary pattern (LBP) is an effective texture descriptor which has successful applications in texture classification and face recognition. Many extensions are made for conventional LBP descriptors. One of the extensions is dominant local binary patterns which aim at extracting the dominant local structures in texture images. The second extension is representing LBP descriptors in Gabor tra...
