Visual Recognition Using Local Quantized Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
Features such as Local Binary Patterns (LBP) and Local Ternary Patterns (LTP) have been very successful in a number of areas including texture analysis, face recognition and object detection. They are based on the idea that small patterns of qualitative local gray-level differences contain a great deal of information about higher-level image content. Existing local pattern features use hand-specified codings, which limits them to small spatial supports and coarse graylevel comparisons. We introduce Local Quantized Patterns (LQP), a generalization that uses lookup-table based vector quantization to code larger or deeper patterns. LQP inherits some of the flexibility and power of visual word representations, without sacrificing the run-time speed and simplicity of existing local pattern ones. We show that it outperforms well-established features including HOG, LBP and LTP and their combinations on a range of challenging object detection and texture classification problems.

Face and texture image analysis with quantized filter response statistics
Image appearance descriptors are needed for different computer vision applications dealing with, for example, detection, recognition and classification of objects, textures, humans, etc. Typically, such descriptors should be discriminative to allow for making the distinction between different classes, yet still robust to intra-class variations due to imaging conditions, natural changes in appea...
متن کاملAutomatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
متن کاملAn Additive Latent Feature Model for Transparent Object Recognition
Existing methods for visual recognition based on quantized local features can perform poorly when local features exist on transparent surfaces, such as glass or plastic objects. There are characteristic patterns to the local appearance of transparent objects, but they may not be well captured by distances to individual examples or by a local pattern codebook obtained by vector quantization. The...
متن کاملFace Recognition Using Local Quantized Patterns and Gabor Filters
The problem of face recognition in a natural or artificial environment has received a great deal of researchers’ attention over the last few years. A lot of methods for accurate face recognition have been proposed. Nevertheless, these methods often fail to accurately recognize the person in difficult scenarios, e.g. low resolution, low contrast, pose variations, etc. We therefore propose an app...
متن کاملFace Recognition using Local Quantized Patterns
This paper proposes a novel face representation based on Local Quantized Patterns (LQP). LQP is a generalization of local pattern features that makes use of vector quantization and lookup table to let local pattern features have many more pixels and/or quantization levels without sacrificing simplicity and computational efficiency. Our new LQP face representation not only outperforms any other ...
