This paper presents a new method for facial expression recognition using divided local binary pattern features. Motivated by Fourier’s parity decomposition, we decompose a LBP descriptor into two subdescriptors. This method reduces the amount of data of the feature extraction, reducing the data dimension effectively. Experimental results on JAFFE facial expression database show that the propose...

The local binary pattern (LBP) provides a simple and efficient approach to gray-scale and rotation invariant texture classification. However, the LBP operator thresholds P neighbors at the value of the center pixel in a local neighborhood and employs a P-bit binary pattern to encode only the signs of the differences between the gray values. Thus, the LBP operator discards some important texture...

Digital image processing techniques are useful in abnormality detection in mammogram images. Recently, texture based image segmentation of mammogram images has become popular due to its better precision and accuracy. Local Binary Pattern has been a recently proposed texture descriptor which attracted the research community rigorously towards texture based analysis of digital images. Many textur...
