Script identification is very important to develop the scripts OCR systems. In this paper, we proposed a new algorithm for script identification based on the global and local texture of document images. The BEMD method is used to decompose the image to some components (IMFs) and then the Local Binary Patterns (LBP) method is used to detect the features. Experiments shown the recognition rate ba...

Illumination normalization is very important for 2D face verification. This study examines the state-of-art illumination normalization methods, and proposes two solutions, namely horizontal Gaussian derivative filters and local binary patterns. Experiments show that our methods significantly improve the generalization capability, while maintaining good discrimination capability of a face verifi...

The concept of grain size distribution is important in many industrial processes. In this study, rolled chrome concentrate was investigated to find the average grain size. Distribution classification was used with covariance, gray level difference, LBP, Laws and color features. As a comparison cooccurrence features were used. Classification was performed by a distribution classifier using leave...

In this paper, a new codification of Local Binary Patterns (LBP) is given using graph pyramids. The LBP code characterizes the topological category (local max, min, slope, saddle) of the gray level landscape around the center region. Given a 2D grayscale image I, our goal is to obtain a simplified image which can be seen as “minimal” representation in terms of topological characterization of I....

Automatic pain recognition is an evolving research area with promising applications in health care. In this paper, we propose the first fully automatic approach to continuous pain intensity estimation from facial images. We first learn a set of independent regression functions for continuous pain intensity estimation using different shape (facial landmarks) and appearance (DCT and LBP) features...

Dynamic texture is an extension of texture to the temporal domain. Recently, a powerful method for dynamic texture recognition based on volume local binary patterns (VLBP) was proposed. In this paper, we investigate improvements of the original VLBP operator. A proof on the relation of the two rotation invariant VLBP patterns is given. Methods for obtaining rotation invariance are experimentall...

In this paper, we introduce the completed local binary patterns (CLBP) operator for the first time on remote sensing land-use scene classification. To further improve the representation power of CLBP, we propose a multi-scale CLBP (MS-CLBP) descriptor to characterize the dominant texture features in multiple resolutions. Two different kinds of implementations of MS-CLBP equipped with the kernel...

Texture segmentation is a process of segmenting an image into differently textured regions. This paper is aimed at the segmentation of multitextured images by using Optimized Local Ternary Patterns (OLTP), a new texture model which is recently proposed for texture analysis. This paper uses unsupervised texture segmentation method with the application of optimized local ternary patterns for find...

This paper discusses the concept of object’s shape identification using local binary pattern technique (LBP). Since LBP is computationally simple it has been utilized successfully for recognition of various objects. LBP which has the potential to be used in various identification related fields was applied on a number of different shaped objects, the process converted the given image in to 3x3...

Recent developments in face analysis showed that local binary patterns (LBP) provide excellent results in representing faces. LBP is by definition a purely gray-scale invariant texture operator, codifying only the facial patterns while ignoring the magnitude of gray level differences (i.e. contrast). However, pattern information is independent of the gray scale, whereas contrast is not. On the ...
