In this paper, a new texture descriptor based on the local neighborhood intensity difference is proposed for content based image retrieval (CBIR). For computation of texture features like Local Binary Pattern (LBP), the center pixel in a 3×3 window of an image is compared with all the remaining neighbors, one pixel at a time to generate a binary bit pattern. It ignores the effect of the adjacen...

We develop a direct and accurate approach for local resampling in vector fields, and then use the approach to synthesise textures on 2D manifold surfaces directly from a texture exemplar. Regular-grid patches produced by the local resampling are used as building blocks for texture synthesis. Then, texture optimisation and patch-based sampling are generalised to synthesise texture directly in ve...

This paper proposes an approach to image segmentation using Iterated Graph Cuts based on local texture features of wavelet coefficients. Using Haar Wavelet based Multiresolution Analysis, the lowfrequency range (smoothed image) is used for the n-link and the highfrequency range (local texture features) is used for the t-link along with the color histogram. The proposed method can segment an obj...

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...

background: one of the challenges of pet/mri combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the pet image. for that, the pseudo-ct image could be used to correct the attenuation. until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-ct image using the registration techniques. however, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...

Despite the fact that the two texture descriptors, the completed modeling of Local Binary Pattern (CLBP) and the Completed Local Binary Count (CLBC), have achieved a remarkable accuracy for invariant rotation texture classification, they inherit some Local Binary Pattern (LBP) drawbacks. The LBP is sensitive to noise, and different patterns of LBP may be classified into the same class that redu...

[1] Spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity exerts a predominant control on groundwater flow by influencing advective pathways, hydrodynamic dispersion, and density-dependent instabilities. Space-local spectral texture segmentation aids in the macroscale characterization of the spatial heterogeneity of natural porous media via an outcrop analogue approach. Detailed photographic data sets ...
