Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new image feature based on spatial co-occurrence among micropatterns, where each micropattern is represented by a Local Binary Pattern (LBP). In conventional LBP-based features such as LBP histograms, all the LBPs of micropatterns in the image are packed into a single histogram. Doing so discards important information concerning spatial relations among the LBPs, even though they may contain information about the image’s global structure. To consider such spatial relations, we measure their co-occurrence among multiple LBPs. The proposed feature is robust against variations in illumination, a feature inherited from the original LBP, and simultaneously retains more detail of image. The significant advantage of the proposed method versus conventional LBP-based features is demonstrated through experimental results of face and texture recognition using public databases.
