The following notation is used for the LBP operator: LBP P,R u2. Local primitives which are codified by these bins includeĭifferent types of curved edges, spots, flat areas etc. Each bin (LBP code)Ĭan be regarded as a micro-texton. Patterns account for a little less than 90% of all patterns when using the (8,1) neighborhoodĪnd for around 70% in the (16,2) neighborhood. (2002) noticed in their experiments with texture images that uniform Of which are uniform, which yields in 59 different labels. For example, when using (8,R) neighborhood, there are a total of 256 patterns, 58 That there is a separate label for each uniform pattern and all the non-uniform patterns are labeled In the computation of the LBP labels, uniform patterns are used so (2 transitions) are uniform whereas the patterns 11001001 (4 transitions) and 01010010 (6 transitions)Īre not. A local binary pattern is called uniform if the binary pattern contains at most twoīitwise transitions from 0 to 1 or vice versa when the bit pattern is traversed circularly.įor example, the patterns 00000000 (0 transitions), 01110000 (2 transitions) and 11001111 This extension was inspired by the fact that some binary patterns occur more commonly in texture To reduce the length of the feature vector and implement a simple rotation-invariant descriptor. 2 for an example of LBP computation.Īnother extension to the original operator is the definition of so-called uniform patterns, which can be used Pixel neighborhoods which means P sampling points on a circle of radius of R. In the following, the notation (P,R) will be used for The gray scale variance of the local neighborhood can be used as the complementaryĬontrast measure. Using a circular neighborhoodĪnd bilinearly interpolating values at non-integer pixel coordinates allow any radius and number The LBP operator was extended to use neighborhoods of different sizes (Ojala et al. After this, many relatedĪpproaches have been developed for texture and color texture segmentation. Performance in unsupervised texture segmentation (Ojala and Pietikäinen 1999). This operator used jointly with a simple local contrast measure provided very good The histogram of these 2 8 = 256 different labels can then be used as a texture descriptor. Neighborhood of each pixel with the center value and considering the result as a binary 1996) forms labels for the image pixels by thresholding the 3 x 3

The basic idea for developing the LBP operator was that two-dimensional surface texturesĬan be described by two complementary measures: local spatial patterns and gray scale contrast.
