Abstract

This paper presents a local binary pattern(LBP) for effectively classifying textures, which is based on the multidimensional intensity difference between the adjacent pixels in the block image. The intensity difference by considering the a extent of 4 directional changes(verticality, horizontality, diagonality, inverse diagonality) in brightness between the adjacent pixels is applied to reduce the computation load as a results of decreasing the levels of histogram for classifying textures of image. And the binary patterns that is represented by the relevant intensities within a block image, is also used to effectively classify the textures by accurately reflecting the local attributes. The proposed method has been applied to classify 24 block images from USC Texture Mosaic #2 of 128*128 pixels gray image. The block images are different in size and texture. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a speedy classification and makes a free size block images classify possible. In particular, the proposed method gives better results than the conventional LBP by increasing the range of histogram level reduction as the block size becomes larger.

본 논문에서는 질감분류를 위해 블록영상 내에서 인접 화소사이의 다차원 명암차이를 이용한 local binary pattern(LBP) 기법을 제안한다. 여기서 블록영상 내 화소 간 명암차는 4방향(세로, 가로, 대각, 역대각) 각각의 인접 화소 간 밝기변화를 고려한 것으로 영상의 질감분류에 이용되는 히스토그램의 레벨수를 감소시켜 계산 부하를 줄이기 위함이다. 또한 블록 내 명암관계를 이진패턴으로 나타낸 것으로 영상의 국부적 속성을 더욱 더 정확하게 반영하여 효과적인 질감분류를 가능하게 함이다. 제안된 기법을 128*128 픽셀의 그레이 영상 USC Texture Mosaic #2을 대상으로 크기와 질감이 다른 24개의 블록영상 각각을 분류하는 실험결과, 기존의 LBP에 비해 빠른 분류속도를 가지며, 임의 크기 블록영상의 분류도 가능함을 확인하였다. 특히 블록영상의 크기가 증가할수록 히스토그램의 레벨 감소폭이 더욱 더 크게 되어 분류속도의 개선정도도 증가함을 알 수 있다.
