“…To increase the efficiency of the CBIR system for face recognition, many researchers have proposed some more variants of LBP. These includes Extended local binary pattern (ELBP) [10], Local Neighbourhood Intensity Pattern (LNIP) [26], Improved LBP (ILBP) [27], Enhanced Local Binary Patterns (E-LBP) [28], Local directional edge binary pattern (LDEBP) [29], directional local ternary co-occurrence pattern (DLTCoP) [30], Graph-Based Structure Binary Pattern (GBSBP) [31], Multi-scale neighbourhood basedtree binary pattern (MNB-TBP) [32], Most significant bits based local binary pattern (m-LBP) [33], Local directional peak valley binary pattern has been presented in [34] etc. This research paper presents a novel LBP variant called Mean-Variance and Median based LBP (MVM-LBP) for face recognition.…”
