Segmentation of knee cartilage has been useful for opportune diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). This paper presents a semiautomatic segmentation technique based on Active Shape Models (ASM) combined with local binary patterns (LBP) and its approaches to describe the surrounding texture of femoral cartilage. The proposed technique is tested on a 16-image database of different patients and it is validated through Leave-One-Out method. We compare different segmentation techniques: ASM-LBP, ASM-medianLBP, and ASM proposed by Cootes. The ASM-LBP approaches are tested with different ratios to decide which of them describes the cartilage texture better. The results show that ASM-medianLBP has better performance than ASM-LBP and ASM. Furthermore, we add a routine which improves the robustness versus two principal problems: over-segmentation and initialization.

In this paper a novel method for the purpose of random texture defect detection using a collection of 1-D HMMs is presented. The sound textural content of a sample of training texture images is first encoded by a compressed LBP histogram and then the localpatterns of the input training textures are learned, in a multiscale framework, through a series of HMMs according to the LBP codes which belong to each bin of this compressed LBP histogram. The hidden states of these HMMs at different scales are used as a texture descriptor that can model the normal behavior of the local texture units inside the training images. The optimal number of these HMMs (models) is determined in an unsupervised manner as a model selection problem. Finally, at the testing stage, the localpatterns of the input test image are first predicted by the trained HMMs and a prediction error is calculated for each pixel position in order to obtain a defect map at each scale. The detection results are then merged by an inter-scale post fusion method for novelty detection. The proposed method is tested with a database of grayscale ceramic the images.

local binary patterns represent very powerful feature for image classification. It evolved from the original model to many modifications and adaptations. However, almost all of derived models are based on the basic idea to code each pixel's 3x3 neighborhood binary. In this paper we propose modification of this idea in order to increase its robustness to Gaussian noise. Instead of calculating differences on 3x3 neighborhood regarding central pixel, we apply calculation of differences regarding average pixel intensity on that neighborhood. This kind of averaging improves classification performances with respect to noise. Proposed method is further tested for classification on two publicly available texture datasets and obtained results, with and without noise addition, prove our assumptions.

Insulator is an important component in the power grid. Therefore, faulty insulator can cause a great damage to the power grid that would lead to leakage currents flowing through line supports. This leads to increase in electrical loses, voltage drop and put human safety to risk. Hence, it is very important to monitor the condition of an insulator before resulting to a great damage in the power grid. Computer vision is recognized as a means to solve this problem safely, speedily and accurately instead of the manual method of monitoring. This paper presents insulator condition using local binary patterns combined with support vector machines. Experiments show an improved performance when local binary patterns is used as a feature extraction method over gray level co-occurrence matrix combined with support vector machines. Results obtained are presented and discussed.

This paper presents a novel approach to the problem of face recognition that combines the classical localbinary Pattern (LBP) feature descriptors with image processing in the logarithmic domain and the human visual system. Particularly, we have introduced parameterized logarithmic image processing (PLIP) operators based LBP feature extractor. We also use the human visual system based image decomposition, which is based on the Weber's law to extract features from the decomposed images and combine those with the features extracted from the original images thereby enriching the feature vector set and obtaining improved rates of recognition. Comparisons with other methods are also presented. Extensive experiments clearly show the superiority of the proposed scheme over LBP feature descriptors. Recognition rates as high as 99% can be achieved as compared to the recognition rate of 96.5% achieved by the classical LBP using the AT&T Laboratories face database.

local binary patterns, LBP, is one of the features which has been used for texture classification. In this paper, a method based oil using these features is proposed for detecting defects in patterned fabrics. In the training stage, at first step LBP operator is applied to all rows (columns) of a defect free fabric sample, pixel by pixel, and the reference feature vector is computed. Then this image is divided into windows and LBP operator is applied to each row, (column) of these windows. Based on comparison with the reference feature vector a suitable threshold for defect free windows is found. In the defection stage, a test image is divided into windows and using the threshold, defective windows call be detected. The proposed method is simple and gray scale invariant. Because of its simplicity, online implementation is possible as well.

This paper introduces a method for characterizing and classifying skin lesions in dermoscopic color images with the goal of detecting which ones are melanoma (cancerous lesions). The images are described by means of the local binary patterns (LBPs) computed on geometrical feature maps of each color component of the image. These maps are extracted from geometrical measurements of the General Adaptive Neighborhoods (GAN) of the pixels. The GAN of a pixel is a region surrounding it and fitting its local image spatial structure. The performance of the proposed texture descriptor has been evaluated by means of an Artificial Neural Network, and it has been compared with the classical LBPs. Experimental results using ROC curves show that the GAN-based method outperforms the classical one and the dermatologists' predictions.

Registration of ultrasound images is often complicated due to inherent noise. Robust similarity metrics and optimization procedures are required to facilitate medical applicability. In this paper a novel hybrid procedure, incorporating global statistics and local textural features, is proposed for the registration of envelope detected radio frequency ultrasound data. On the global scale this is achieved by Hellinger distance between distribution in images, and on the local scale by a statistics-based extension of Fuzzy local binary patterns (FLBP). The proposed procedure is shown to outperform standard measures such as SSD and NCC, as well as Hellinger distance and histogram matching of standard FLBPs, in rigid registration experiments of envelope detected radio frequency data samples of the human neck.

Accidental or deliberate bilge dumping presents a major threat to the sea ecosystem. We present a semi automatic approach to detect bilge dumping in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The approach consist of three main parts. Firstly, areas with high probability of being bilge dumps are detected using local binary patterns (LBP) with an adaptive threshold. Secondly, features are extracted from the detected dark spots and lastly, the features are analysed using bilge dump database to discriminate dark spot as bilge or not bilge. The automated approach was investigated on nine visually inspected images of SENTINEL 1A and ENVISAT Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) images. The performance was measured by comparing the number of detected bilge dumps using the automated approach with the visually detected database. The automated detection approach showed to be a good alternative of the labour intensive manual inspection of bilge dumps, particularly for large ocean area monitoring.

A novel texture classification approach based on neighborhood estimated local binary patterns (NELBP) is proposed. In the proposed approach, the local surrounding values of neighborhood estimated are introduced to operate binarypatterns. Moreover, two different and complementary descriptors (average-based descriptor and differences-based descriptor) are extracted from local patches. Contrast experiments on Outex database and CUReT database demonstrate that the proposed NELBP is more robust to Gaussian noise than the conventional LBP for texture classification. In addition, the results also show that the combined complementary descriptor playes an important role in texture classification.
