A MODIFIED LBP METHOD TO EXTRACT FEATURES FROM COLOR IMAGES

摘要

Local image texture descriptors are widely used in image analysis. The local binary pattern (LBP) is a texture descriptor that is simple and efficient. LBP has been utilized in many applications in image processing field such as face recognition, pattern recognition and feature extraction. In this paper, a modified LBP method was proposed to extract texture features. The proposed algorithm was implemented on many digital images and the local structure features of these images were obtained. Several image recognition experiments are conducted on these features and compared with other algorithms. The results of the proposed algorithm showed that the digital image was represented in a very small size and furthermore the speed and accuracy of image recognition based on the proposed method was increased significantly.
