چکیده

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new methodology for micro-pattern analysis in digital images. The gray-level pixels’ structure in an image neighborhood describes a spatial specific context. Edge, line, spot, blob, corner or texture can be described by this structure. The gray-level values of the image pixel are interpreted as a fuzzy set, and each pixel gray-level as a fuzzy number. A membership function can be defined to describe the membership degree of the central pixel to the others in an image neighborhood. We have called this method the Local Fuzzy Pattern (LFP). If a sigmoid membership function is used, the proposed methodology describes the texture very well, and if a symmetrical triangular membership function is applied, the LFP is better for edge's detection. The results were compared to the Local Binary Pattern (LBP), for texture classification getting the better hit-rate. Our proposed formulation for the LFP is a generalization of previously published techniques, such as Texture Unit, LBP, FUNED, and Census Transform.

Mandibular Trabecular Bone Analysis Using Local Binary Pattern for Osteoporosis Diagnosis

Background: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and increased fracture risk. Since Panoramic image is a feasible and relatively routine imaging technique in dentistry; it could provide an opportunistic chance for screening osteoporosis. In this regard, numerous...

Local Derivative Pattern with Smart Thresholding: Local Composition Derivative Pattern for Palmprint Matching

Palmprint recognition is a new biometrics system based on physiological characteristics of the palmprint, which includes rich, stable, and unique features such as lines, points, and texture. Texture is one of the most important features extracted from low resolution images. In this paper, a new local descriptor, Local Composition Derivative Pattern (LCDP) is proposed to extract smartly stronger...

Local gradient pattern - A novel feature representation for facial expression recognition

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...

Application of Pattern Recognition Algorithms for Clustering Power System to Voltage Control Areas and Comparison of Their Results

Finding the collapse susceptible portion of a power system is one of the purposes of voltage stability analysis. This part which is a voltage control area is called the voltage weak area. Determining the weak area and adjecent voltage control areas has special importance in the improvement of voltage stability. Designing an on-line corrective control requires the voltage weak area to be determi...
