Local binary features for texture classification

In this paper, a new image indexing and retrieval algorithm using local mesh patterns are proposed for biomedical image retrieval application. The standard local binary pattern encodes the relationship between the referenced pixel and its surrounding neighbors, whereas the proposed method encodes the relationship among the surrounding neighbors for a given referenced pixel in an image. The possible relationships among the surrounding neighbors are depending on the number of neighbors, P. In addition, the effectiveness of our algorithm is confirmed by combining it with the Gabor transform. To prove the effectiveness of our algorithm, three experiments have been carried out on three different biomedical image databases. Out of which two are meant for computer tomography (CT) and one for magnetic resonance (MR) image retrieval. It is further mentioned that the database considered for three experiments are OASIS-MRI database, NEMA-CT database, and VIA/I-ELCAP database which includes region of interest CT images. The results after being investigated show a significant improvement in terms of their evaluation measures as compared to LBP, LBP with Gabor transform, and other spatial and transform domain methods.

Local Mesh Patterns Versus Local Binary Patterns: Biomedical Image Indexing and Retrieval

Semantic content-based image retrieval: A comprehensive study ☆

In this paper, we propose a novel image indexing and retrieval algorithm using local tetra patterns (LTrPs) for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). The standard local binary pattern (LBP) and local ternary pattern (LTP) encode the relationship between the referenced pixel and its surrounding neighbors by computing gray-level difference. The proposed method encodes the relationship between the referenced pixel and its neighbors, based on the directions that are calculated using the first-order derivatives in vertical and horizontal directions. In addition, we propose a generic strategy to compute nth-order LTrP using (n - 1)th-order horizontal and vertical derivatives for efficient CBIR and analyze the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm by combining it with the Gabor transform. The performance of the proposed method is compared with the LBP, the local derivative patterns, and the LTP based on the results obtained using benchmark image databases viz., Corel 1000 database (DB1), Brodatz texture database (DB2), and MIT VisTex database (DB3). Performance analysis shows that the proposed method improves the retrieval result from 70.34%/44.9% to 75.9%/48.7% in terms of average precision/average recall on database DB1, and from 79.97% to 85.30% and 82.23% to 90.02% in terms of average retrieval rate on databases DB2 and DB3, respectively, as compared with the standard LBP.

Local Tetra Patterns: A New Feature Descriptor for Content-Based Image Retrieval

Local maximum edge binary patterns: A new descriptor for image retrieval and object tracking

In this paper, a new algorithm using directional local extrema patterns meant for content-based image retrieval application is proposed. The standard local binary pattern (LBP) encodes the relationship between reference pixel and its surrounding neighbors by comparing gray-level values. The proposed method differs from the existing LBP in a manner that it extracts the directional edge information based on local extrema in 0

Performance is compared with LBP, block-based LBP (BLK_LBP), center-symmetric local binary pattern (CS-LBP), local edge patterns for segmentation (LEPSEG), local edge patterns for image retrieval (LEPINV), and other existing transform domain methods by conducting four experiments on benchmark databases viz. Corel (DB1) and Brodatz (DB2) databases. The results after being investigated show a significant improvement in terms of their evaluation measures as compared with other existing methods on respective databases.

Directional local extrema patterns: a new descriptor for content based image retrieval

A new algorithm for medical image retrieval is presented in the paper. An 8-bit grayscale image is divided into eight binary bit-planes, and then binary wavelet transform (BWT) which is similar to the lifting scheme in real wavelet transform (RWT) is performed on each bitplane to extract the multi-resolution binary images. The local binary pattern (LBP) features are extracted from the resultant BWT sub-bands. Three experiments have been carried out for proving the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Out of which two are meant for medical image retrieval and one for face retrieval. It is further mentioned that the database considered for three experiments are OASIS magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) database, NEMA computer tomography (CT) database and PolyU-NIRFD face database. The results after investigation shows a significant improvement in terms of their evaluation measures as compared to LBP and LBP with Gabor transform.

Directional Binary Wavelet Patterns for Biomedical Image Indexing and Retrieval

A new image indexing and retrieval system for content based image retrieval (CBIR) is proposed in this paper. The characteristics (vector points) of image are computed using color (color histogram) and SOT (spatial orientation tree). The SOT defines the spatial parent-child relationship among wavelet coefficients in multi-resolution wavelet sub-bands. First the image is divided into sub-blocks and then constructed the SOT for each low pass wavelet coefficient is considered as a vector point of that particular image. Similarly the color histogram features are collected from the each sub-block. The vector points of each image are indexed using vocabulary tree. The retrieval results of the proposed method are tested on different image databases, i.e., natural image database consists of Corel 1000 (DB1), Brodatz texture image database (DB2) and MIT VisTex database (DB3). The results after being investigated show a significant improvement in terms of average precision, average recall and average retrieval rate on DB1 database and average retrieval rate on texture databases (DB2 and DB3) as compared with most of existing techniques on respective databases.
