TL;DR

This research proposes Adaptive Local Ternary Pattern (ALTP) that uses a dynamically calculated threshold to determine texture pattern for an image region that outperformed state-of-the-art texture feature descriptors.

Abstract

The success of image processing applications heavily relies on accurate texture analysis. Local Binary Patterns (LBP) is one of the texture models that has found its way into huge application in image texture analysis due to its simplicity and efficiency. However, LBP is more sensitive to noise and can easily classify different pattern into the same class therefore reducing its discriminating property. Local Ternary Pattern was proposed as an extension of LBP and was found to be more resistant to noise. However, LTP and its variants use a static threshold that lacks statistical relationship with the pixel values of an image and which makes it dynamically inappropriate to all images of a dataset or different datasets. This research proposes Adaptive Local Ternary Pattern (ALTP) that uses a dynamically calculated threshold to determine texture pattern for an image region. Experiments conducted on complex texture datasets (KTHTIPS2b, Stex and Describable Textures Dataset (DTD)) showed that ALTP outperformed state-of-the-art texture feature descriptors.

Implementation of a Food Image Retrieval System Based on Color Feature Extraction Using Color Moments (CIELab) and Texture Feature Using Local Binary Pattern (LBP)

The rapid growth of digital image content on social media has positioned food as one of the most frequently shared visual objects. Text-based search is often inadequate for retrieving food images due to their high visual complexity in color, shape, and texture, as variations in ingredients, lighting, and camera angle c...

Mixed texture descriptors for facial expression recognition

This article proposes a novel approach to recognize facial expression using a combination of three local texture descriptors such as Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Gradient Direction Pattern (GDP) and Local Directional Pattern (LDP). Firstly, we need to perform the pre-process of face image, which includes face detection...

Fabric defect detection based on feature-selected redundant GLCM

Gray-level co-occurrence matrix features are widely applicable to texture analysis and texture-related tasks, but their discriminative power is reduced to varying degrees in complex backgrounds. To overcome this limitation, we propose a Redundant GLCM (RGLCM) framework that leverages multi-scale image decomposition and...
