Texture-based method (TBM) using local binary patterns (LBP) proposed in ill is a successful solution to background subtraction especially for dynamic background scenes. However, it usually suffers from inaccuracy of the shapes of segmentation results and slow adaptation to the current situation. In this paper, we present an improved TBM that solves the two problems. To solve the first problem, a spatially weighted LBP histogram (SWLH) is proposed to be the feature vector and a simple shadow removing method is introduced. When dealing with the second one, we use an adaptive learning rate for each model LBP histogram and maintain multiple frame level models to process sudden illumination changes. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the original TBM.

A novel medical image retrieval algorithm based on texture is proposed. The contourlet transform combines nonseparable and directional filters banks, and has multiscale and directional properties. The marginal distribution of contourlet transform coefficients is modeled by generalized Gaussian density. It is used for texture feature extraction in transform domain. Uniform local binary patterns have good rotation invariance. It extracts texture feature in spatial domain and his retrieval time is short. A texture feature extracting algorithm combined statistical features of the contourlet with block-based uniform local binary patterns is proposed further. The two texture feature were extracted in spatial domain and in transform domain, which are complementary. A database of medical images was retrieved by this algorithm. The result shows it can achieve a high precision of retrieval.

This paper compares the speed performance of a set of classic image algorithms for evaluating texture in images by using CUDA programming. We include a summary of the general program mode of CUDA. We select a set of texture algorithms, based on statistical analysis, that allow the use of repetitive functions, such as the Co-ocurrence Matrix, Haralick features and local binary patterns techniques. The memory allocation time between the host and device memory is not taken into account. The results of this approach show a comparison of the texture algorithms in terms of speed when executed on CPU and GPU processors. The comparison shows that the algorithms can be accelerated more than 40 times when implemented using CUDA environment.

In recent years, research groups pay even more attention on 3D images, especially in the field of biomedical image processing. Adding another dimension enables to capture the entire object. On the other hand, handling 3D images also requires new algorithms, since not all of them can be modified for higher dimensions intuitively. In this article, we introduce a comparison of various implementations of 3D texture descriptors presented in the literature in recent years. We prepared an unified environment to test all of them under the same conditions. From the results of our tests we came to conclusion, that 3D variants of LBP in the combination with k-NN classifier are a very strong approach with the classification accuracy more than 99% on selected group of 3D biomedical images.

In this paper, we propose new data features to improve the off-line handwritten signature verification. The proposed features combine advantages of LBP and topological characteristics. Specifically, the Orthogonal Combination of LBP, which provides an LBP histogram with a reduced size, is combined with a topological descriptor that is called longest run features. The verification task is achieved by SVM classifiers and the performance assessment is conducted comparatively to the basic LBP descriptors. Results obtained on both GPDS 300 and CEDAR datasets show that the proposed features improve the verification accuracy while reducing the data size.

OCR of low resolution documents is not so common, because it has a lot of problems. However, today there are several archives of digital documents which are scanned at low resolution, to consume less storage. These documents which usually have a resolution of 100 to 150 dpi, require to be converted to searchable documents. In this paper presents a new method for clustering of low quality printed Persian sub-words. This is necessary to reduce the number of classes of sub-words in order to improve the overall recognition rate. Two popular clustering methods, hierarchical and k-means implemented and compared. local binary patterns (LBP) and zoning algorithms used for feature extraction. Both features are fast and represent the global shape information very well. Moreover, we used different distance measures to find the similarity of feature vectors. We applied our algorithms on a dataset of 10,700 images of distinct Persian sub-words with 96 dpi resolution. Experimental results show that the hierarchical clustering with the correlation distance measure has the best performance over other clustering methods and distance measures.

Medical image analysis has become an important tool for improving medical diagnosis and planning treatments. It involves volume or still image segmentation that plays a critical role in understanding image content by facilitating extraction of the anatomical organ or region-of-interest. It also may help towards the construction of reliable computer-aided diagnosis systems. Specifically, level set methods have emerged as a general framework for image segmentation;such methods are mainly based on gradient information and provide satisfactory results. However, the noise inherent to images and the lack of contrast information between adjacent regions hamper the performance of the algorithms, thus, others proposals have been suggested in the literature. For instance, characterization of regions as statistical parametric models to handle level set evolution. In this paper, we study the influence of texture on a level-set-based segmentation and propose the use of Hermite features that are incorporated into the level set model to improve organ segmentation that may be useful for quantifying left ventricular blood flow. The proposal was also compared against other texture descriptors such as local binary patterns, Image derivatives, and Hounsfield low attenuation values.

We propose a region-based body joint tracking scheme to track and estimate continuous joint locations in low resolution imagery where the estimated trajectories can be analyzed for specific gait signatures. The true transition between the joint states are of a continuous nature and specifically follows a sinusoidal trajectory. Recent state of art techniques enables us to estimate pose at each frame from which joint locations can be deduced. But these pose estimates at low resolution are often noisy and discrete and hence not suitable for further gait analysis. Our proposed 2-level region-based tracking scheme gets a good approximation to the true trajectory and obtains finer estimates. Initial joint locations are deduced from a human pose estimation algorithm and subsequent finer locations are estimated and tracked by a Kalman filter. We test the algorithm on sequences containing individuals walking outdoors and evaluate their gait using the estimated joint trajectories.

Automatic facial expression recognition has been drawn many attentions in both computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) for the past decades. Although much progress has been made, facial expression recognition (FER) is still a challenging and interesting problem. In this paper, we propose a new FER system, which uses the active shape mode (ASM) algorithm to align the faces, then extracts local binary patterns (LBP) features and uses support vector machine (SVM) classifier to predict the facial emotion. Experiments on the Jaffe database show that the proposed method has a promising performance and increases the recognition rate by 5.2% compared to the method using Gabor features.

Effective far-range traversable region detection is a fundamental issue for mobile robots. However, the performance of traditional methods is limited as distance estimation of stereo-vision system is unreliable beyond 10-15m. In this paper, we proposed a far-range traversable region detection algorithm based on near-to-far self-supervised learning. In the algorithm, superpixel segmentation is employed as preprocessing to reduce the computational complexity. Then, near-range LBP features are extracted for each superpixel. Afterwards, the resulted LBP fea-tures are used to train an Incremental Supported Vector Machine (ISVM) for classification, which enhances the far-range region classification performance. Thorough experiments have been carried out utilizing our Nubot mobile robot in outdoor environments. Furthermore the proposed algorithm has also been evaluated using the KITTI Vision Benchmark dataset compared against state of the art algorithms. The results show that the proposed algorithm can detect the traversable regions in a far range efficiently at a high successful rate.
