In this paper, an Extended Mapping localbinary Pattern (EMLBP) method is proposed that is used for texture feature extraction. In this method, by extending nonuniform patterns a new mapping technique is suggested that extracts more discriminative features from textures. This new mapping is tested for some LBP operators such as CLBP, LBP, and LTP to improve the classification rate of them. The proposed approach is used for coding nonuniform patterns into more than one feature. The proposed method is rotation invariant and has all the positive points of previous approaches. By concatenating and joining two or more histograms significant improvement can be made for rotation invariant texture classification. The implementation of proposed mapping on Outex, UIUC and CUReT datasets shows that proposed method can improve the rate of classifications. Furthermore, the introduced mapping can increase the performance of any rotation invariant LBP, especially for large neighborhood. The most accurate result of the proposed technique has been obtained for CLBP. It is higher than that of some state-of-the-art LBP versions such as multiresolution CLBP and CLBC, DLBP, VZ MR8, VZ Joint, LTP, and LBPV.

Detection of seam carving-based digital image resizing is a challenging task in image processing field since the method investigates the images on hand semantically. Resizing with seam carving is realized by inserting or removing relatively unimportant pixel paths to/from the images and so the changes in image content are mostly unnoticeable. local binary patterns (LBP), a visual descriptor, unearths local changes in image texture. Therefore, using LBP transform of the images besides intensity values contributes to the detection ratio. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid detection mechanism for more accurate seam carving detection especially in low scaling ratios. We extracted LBP-based and non-LBP based features and trained a Support Vector Machine (SVM) with sixty features. We achieved approximately 9 % improvement in low detection ratios. The experimental results show that more satisfactory detection ratios can be obtained by the proposed hybrid approach.

Facial recognition is the fast growing and challenging field in biometric applications. Variety of improvements has been suggested considering the feature extraction and matching techniques for accurate and efficient facial recognition. In this paper we proposed an approach which uses facial recognition methodologies to implement a computational efficient technique for facial biometric application to help visually impaired people. In this system we used LBP for feature extraction to classify image either valid or invalid person using SVM classification so that it helps visual impaired people in improving their lifestyle and safety. The architecture has been verified with both in a real environment Actual users and printed images have achieved very good results.

In this paper, we present a new image segmentation algorithm which is based on local binary patterns (LBPs) and the combinatorial pyramid and which preserves structural correctness and image topology. For this purpose, we define a codification of LBPs using graph pyramids. Since the LBP code characterizes the topological category (local max, min, slope, saddle) of the gray level landscape around the center region, we use it to obtain a "minimal" image representation in terms of the topological characterization of a given 2D grayscale image. Based on this idea, we further describe our hierarchical texture aware image segmentation algorithm and compare its segmentation output and the "minimal" image representation.

Offline signature verification is a task that benefits from matching both the global shape and local details;as such, it is particularly suitable to a fusion approach. We present a system that uses a score-level fusion of complementary classifiers that use different local features (histogram of oriented gradients, local binary patterns and scale invariant feature transform descriptors), where each classifier uses a feature-level fusion to represent local features at coarse-to-fine levels. For classifiers, two different approaches are investigated, namely global and user-dependent classifiers. User-dependent classifiers are trained separately for each user, to learn to differentiate that user's genuine signatures from other signatures;while a single global classifier is trained with difference vectors of query and reference signatures of all users in the training set, to learn the importance of different types of dissimilarities. The fusion of all classifiers achieves a state-of-the-art performance with 6.97% equal error rate in skilled forgery tests using the public GPDS-160 signature database. The proposed system does not require skilled forgeries of the enrolling user, which is essential for real life applications. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Automatic crowd detection in aerial images is certainly a useful source of information to prevent crowd disasters in large complex scenarios of mass events. A number of publications employ regression-based methods for crowd counting and crowd density estimation. However, these methods work only when a correct manual count is available to serve as a reference. Therefore, it is the objective of this paper to detect high-density crowds in aerial images, where counting- or regression-based approaches would fail. We compare two texture-classification methodologies on a dataset of aerial image patches which are grouped into ranges of different crowd density. These methodologies are: (1) a Bag-of-words (BoW) model with two alternative local features encoded as Improved Fisher Vectors and (2) features based on a Gabor filter bank. Our results show that a classifier using either BoW or Gabor features can detect crowded image regions with 97% classification accuracy. In our tests of four classes of different crowd-density ranges, BoW-based features have a 5%-12% better accuracy than Gabor.

An efficient texture modeling framework based on Topological Attribute patterns (TAP) is presented considering topology related attributes calculated from local binary patterns (LBP). Our main contribution is to introduce new efficient mapping mechanisms that improve some typical mappings for LBP-based operators in texture classification such as rotation invariant patterns (ri), rotation invariant uniform patterns (riu 2), and localbinary Count (LBC). Like them, the proposed approach allows contrast and rotation invariant image description using more compact descriptors by projecting binarypatterns to a reduced feature space. However, its expressiveness, and then its discrimination capability, is higher, since it includes additional information, related to the connected components of the binarypatterns. The proposed mapping, evaluated and compared with different popular mappings, validates the interest of our approach. We then develop Complemented patterns of Topological Attributes (CTAP) that generalize TAP model and exploit complemented information to further enhance its discrimination capability, and evaluate it on different texture datasets.

In this paper, rotation invariance and the influence of rotation interpolation methods on texture recognition using several local binary patterns (LBP) variants are investigated. We show that the choice of interpolation method when rotating textures greatly influences the recognition capability. Lanczos 3 and B-spline interpolation are comparable to rotating the textures prior to image acquisition, whereas the recognition capability is significantly and increasingly lower for the frequently used third order cubic, linear and nearest neighbour interpolation. We also show that including generated rotations of the texture samples in the training data improves the classification accuracies. For many of the descriptors, this strategy compensates for the shortcomings of the poorer interpolation methods to such a degree that the choice of interpolation method only has a minor impact. To enable an appropriate and fair comparison, a new texture dataset is introduced which contains hardware and interpolated rotations of 25 texture classes. Two new LBP variants are also presented, combining the advantages of local ternary patterns and Fourier features for rotation invariance.

Reliable facial recognition systems are of crucial importance in various applications from entertainment to security. Thanks to the deep-learning concepts introduced in the field, a significant improvement in the performance of the unimodal facial recognition systems has been observed in the recent years. At the same time a multimodal facial recognition is a promising approach. This study combines the latest successes in both directions by applying deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNN) to the multimodal RGB, depth, and thermal (RGB-D-T) based facial recognition problem outperforming previously published results. Furthermore, a late fusion of the CNN-based recognition block with various hand-crafted features (local binary patterns, histograms of oriented gradients, Haar-like rectangular features, histograms of Gabor ordinal measures) is introduced, demonstrating even better recognition performance on a benchmark RGB-D-T database. The obtained results in this study show that the classical engineered features and CNN-based features can complement each other for recognition purposes.
