Coral reef image classification employing Improved LDP for feature extraction

This paper presents a scheme for feature extraction that can be applied for classification of corals in submarine coral reef images. In coral reef image classification, texture features are extracted using the proposed Improved Local Derivative Pattern (ILDP). ILDP determines diagonal directional pattern features based on local derivative variations which can capture full information. For classification, three classifiers, namely Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) with four distance metrices, namely Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, Canberra distance and Chi-Square distance, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) with three kernel functions, namely Polynomial, Radial basis function, Sigmoid kernel are used. The accuracy of the proposed method is compared with Local Binary pattern (LBP), Local Tetra Pattern (LTrP), Local Derivative Pattern (LDP) and Robust Local Ternary Pattern (RLTP) on five coral data sets and four texture data sets. Experimental results indicate that ILDP feature extraction method when tested with five coral data sets, namely EILAT, RSMAS, EILAT2, MLC2012 and SDMRI and four texture data sets, namely KTH-TIPS, UIUCTEX, CURET and LAVA achieves the highest overall classification accuracy, minimum execution time when compared to the other methods.

An improved LBP algorithm for texture and face classification

Local Binary Pattern (LBP) has achieved great success in texture classification due to its accuracy and efficiency. Traditional LBP method encodes local features by binarying the difference in local neighborhood and then represents a given image using the histogram of the binary patterns. However, it ignores the directional statistical information. In this paper, some directional statistical features—including the mean and standard deviation of the local absolute difference—are integrated into the feature extraction to improve the classification ability of the extracted features. In order to reduce estimation errors of the local absolute difference, we further utilize the least square estimate technique to optimize the weight and minimize the local absolute difference, which leads to more stable directional features. In addition, a novel rotation invariant texture classification approach is presented. Experimental results on several texture and face datasets show that the proposed approach significantly improves the classification accuracy of the traditional LBP.     

2D facial expression recognition via 3D reconstruction and feature fusion

In this paper, a novel feature extraction method is proposed for facial expression recognition by extracting the feature from facial depth and 3D mesh alongside texture. Accordingly, the 3D Facial Expression Generic Elastic Model (3D FE-GEM) method is used to reconstruct an expression-invariant 3D model from the human face. Then, the texture, depth and mesh are extracted from the reconstructed face model. Afterwards, the Local Binary Pattern (LBP), proposed 3D High-Low Local Binary Pattern (3DH-LLBP) and Local Normal Binary Patterns (LNBPs) are applied to texture, depth and mesh of the face, respectively, to extract the feature from 2D images. Finally, the final feature vectors are generated through feature fusion and are classified by the Support Vector Machine (SVM). Convincing results are acquired for facial expression recognition on the CK+, CK, JAFFE and Bosphorus image databases compared to several state-of-the-art methods.     

Integration of wavelet transform,Local Binary Patterns and moments for content-based image retrieval

The proliferation of large number of images has made it necessary to develop systems for indexing and organizing images for easy access. This has made Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) an important area of research in Computer Vision. This paper proposes a combination of features in multiresolution analysis framework for image retrieval. In this work, the concept of multiresolution analysis has been exploited through the use of wavelet transform. This paper combines Local Binary Pattern (LBP) with Legendre Moments at multiple resolutions of wavelet decomposition of image. First, LBP codes of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) coefficients of images are computed to extract texture feature from image. The Legendre Moments of these LBP codes are then computed to extract shape feature from texture feature for constructing feature vectors. These feature vectors are used to search and retrieve visually similar images from large database. The proposed method has been tested on five benchmark datasets, namely, Corel-1K, Olivia-2688, Corel-5K, Corel-10K, and GHIM-10K, and performance of the proposed method has been measured in terms of precision and recall. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms some of the other state-of-the-art methods in terms of precision and recall.
