Monogenic-LBP: A new approach for rotation invariant texture classification
Lin Zhang, Lei Zhang, Zhenhua Guo, David Zhang · 2010
Analysis of two-dimensional textures has many potential applications in computer vision. In this paper, we investigate the problem of rotation invariant texture classification, and propose a novel texture feature extractor, namely Monogenic-LBP (M-LBP). M-LBP integrates the traditional Local Binary Pattern (LBP) operator with the other two rotation invariant measures: the local phase and the local surface type computed by the 1st-order and 2nd-order Riesz transforms, respectively. The classification is based on the image's histogram of M-LBP responses. Extensive experiments conducted on the CUReT database demonstrate the overall superiority of M-LBP over the other state-of-the-art methods evaluated.
