Image retrieval and classification using adaptive local binary patterns based on texture features

Abstract

In this study, adaptive local binary patterns (ALBP) are proposed for image retrieval and classification. ALBP are based on texture features for local binary patterns. The texture features were used to propose an adaptive local binary patterns histogram (ALBPH) and gradient for adaptive local binary patterns (GALBP) in this study. Two texture features are most useful for describing the relationship in a local neighbourhood. ALBPH shows the texture distribution of an image by identifying and employing the difference between the centre pixel and the neighbourhood pixel values. In the GALBP, the gradient for each pixel is computed and the sum of the gradient of the ALBP number is adopted as an image feature. In this study, a set of colour and greyscale images were used to generate a variety of image subsets. Then, image retrieval and classification experiments were carried out for analysis and comparison with other methods. From the experimental results, the authors discovered that the proposed feature extraction method can effectively describe the characteristics of images in regard to texture image and image type. The image retrieval and classification experiments also produced better results than other methods.

A new infrared small and dim target detection algorithm based on multi-directional composite window

“…In order to distinguish different areas precisely, an area model combined with four directions is proposed in Ref. [20], as stated in Table 2. For the sake of improving the detection accuracy, this paper introduces a window structure with eight directions, as illustrated in Table 3.…”

“…In addition to the algorithms mentioned above, there are many other algorithms adopted broadly, such as higher-order statistics [18], dynamic programming [19], local binary patterns [20], and genetic algorithm [21]. Most of the target detection algorithms have lower detection accuracy and robustness under various complex backgrounds.…”

Ameliorate Fuzzy C-Means: An Ameliorate Fuzzy C-Means Clustering Algorithm for Ct-Lung Image Segmentation

“…The images were clustered through specified cluster centers. A new fuzzy level set algorithm was proposed in (Lin et al, 2012) for segmenting the medical image. The proposed algorithm enhances the existing fuzzy level set algorithm with locally regularized evolution.…”

Differentiating Grade in Breast Invasive Ductal Carcinoma Using Texture Analysis of MRI

“…Texture analysis (TA) is an advanced image processing method for extracting and quantifying features related to local patterns in images [5]. TA is a quantitative and systematic approach over a large range of spatial frequencies, giving it the potential to outperform expert visual pattern analysis to MRI and yielding promising results for the grades of IDC.…”
