본 논문에서는 다중 지역 이진 패턴(Multi-scale Bock LBP, MB-LBP) 특징과 랜덤 포레스트에 기반한 새로운 기법의 머리 방향 분류 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법에서는 occlusion 과 조명의 변화에 강인한 분류 정확도를 얻기 위해서 랜덤화된 트리를 학습하는 것을 목표로 한다. 우선, 얼굴 이미지로부터 많은 MB-LBP 특징을 추출하고, 얼굴 영상들을 랜덤하게 입력하고 MB-LBP 크기 파라미터와 같은 랜덤 특징과 블록 좌표들을 사용하여 트리를 생성한다. 게다가 각 노드에서 정보 이득을 최대화 하는 트리의 내부 노드를 생성하기 위해서 uniform LBP 의 특성을 고려한 분할 함수를 개발한다. 랜덤화된 트리는 랜덤 포레스트에 포함되어 있으며 마지막 결정단계에서 Maximum-A-Posteriori criterion 으로 최종 결정을 한다. 실험 결과는 제안 기법이 다양한 조명, 자세, 표현, occlusion 상황에서 기존의 방법보다 개선된 성능으로 머리 방향을 분류 할 수 있음을 보여준다.

In this paper, a method is proposed that enhances the performance of the facial expression recognition using template matching of Local Binary Pattern(LBP) histogram. In this method, the face image is segmented into blocks, and the LBP histogram is constructed to be used as the feature of the block. Block dissimilarity is calculated between a block of input image and the corresponding block of the model image. Image dissimilarity is defined as the weighted sum of the block dissimilarities. In conventional methods, the block weights are assigned by intuition. In this paper a new method is proposed that optimizes the weights from training samples. An experiment shows the recognition rate is enhanced by the proposed method.

This paper presents novel OCS-LBP (Oriented Center Symmetric Local Binary Patterns) based on orientation of pixel gradient and image retrieval system based on BoF (Bag-of-Feature) and random forest classifier. Feature vectors extracted from training data are clustered into code book and each feature is transformed new BoF feature using code book. BoF features are applied to random forest for training and random forest having N classes is constructed by combining several decision trees. For testing, the same OCS-LBP feature is extracted from a query image and BoF is applied to trained random forest classifier. In contrast to conventional retrieval system, query image selects similar K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) classes after random forest is performed. Then, Top K similar images are retrieved from database images that are only labeled K-NN classes. Compared with other retrieval algorithms, the proposed method shows both fast processing time and improved retrieval performance.

Face detection using the LBP based feature descriptor has issues in that it can not represent spatial information between facial shape and facial components such as eyes, nose and mouth. To address these issues, in previous research, a facial image was divided into a number of square sub-regions. However, since the sub-regions are divided into different numbers and sizes, the division criteria of the sub-region suitable for the database used in the experiment is ambiguous, the dimension of the LBP histogram increases in proportion to the number of sub-regions and as the number of sub-regions increases, the sensitivity to facial orientation rotation increases significantly. In this paper, we present a novel facial region segmentation method that can solve in-plane rotation issues associated with LBP based feature descriptors and the number of dimensions of feature descriptors. As a result, the proposed method showed detection accuracy of 99.0278% from a single facial image rotated in orientation.

환자의 흉부 CT 영상을 이용하여 폐 영역의 질환을 진단하는 컴퓨터 조력 진단(CAD) 시스템은 질감 특징을 이용한다. 질환의 질감 특징 추출은 매우 중요하다. 질감 특징 추출은 폐 질환을 분석하기 위한 좋은 방법 중의 하나이기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 폐기종 질환을 판별하기 위해 명암도와 CS-LBP를 결합한 질감 특징 추출 방법을 제안한다. 입력된 흉부 CT 영상은 몇 단계의 전처리 과정을 거치고 제안한 방법을 통해 질감 특징 추출을 하게 된다. 그리고 분류기에 의해 폐기종을 분류해 질환을 판별하게 된다. 실험 결과에서는 제안한 방법이 현존하는 방법 중 가장 좋은 성능을 보이는 GLLBP보다 더 좋은 성능을 보여준다.

Texture is one of the most useful features in classifying and segmenting images. The LBP-based approach previously presented in the literature has been successful in many applications. However, it's theoretical foundation is based only on the difference of pixel values, and consequently it has a number of drawbacks like it performs poorly for the images corrupted with noise, and especially it cannot be used as a multiscale texture descriptor due to the exploding increase of feature vector dimension with increase of the number of neighbor pixels. In this paper, we present a method to address these drawbacks of LBP-based approach. More specifically, our approach quantizes the range of pixels values and construct a 3D histogram which captures the correlative information of pixels. This histogram is used as a texture feature. Several tests with texture images show that the proposed method outperforms the LBP-based approach in the problem of texture classification.

In this study, we presented a method for non-square Differential LBP operation that can well describe the micro pattern in the horizontal and vertical component. We proposed a way to represent a LBP operation with various direction components as well as the diagonal component. In order to verify the validity of the proposed operation, Differential LBP was investigated with respect to accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for the classification of facial expression. In accuracy comparison proposed LBP operation obtains better results than Square LBP and LBP-CS operations. Also, Proposed Differential LBP gets better results than previous two methods in the sensitivity and specificity indicators 'Neutral', 'Happiness', 'Surprise', and 'Anger' and excellence Differential LBP was confirmed.

Object recognition is a technology that detects and identifies various objects in images and videos. LBP is a descriptor that operates robustly to illumination variations and is actively used in object recognition. LBP considers the range of neighboring pixels, the order of combining the neighbors after the comparison operation, and the starting position of combining. In particular, the starting position of the LBP becomes the "most significant bit"; it dramatically affects the performance of object recognition. In this paper, based on the N starting positions, the data most similar to the input data are searched in each of the N feature spaces. Object recognition is performed by the confidence measure that can compare different results of each feature space under the same criterion and select the most reliable result. In the experimental results, it was confirmed that there is a difference in performance depending on the starting position of LBP. The proposed method showed a high performance of up to 12.66% compared to the recognition performance of the existing LBP.

The accuracy of a real facial recognition system can be varied according to the accuracy of the eye detection algorithm when we design and implement a semi-automatic facial recognition algorithm depending on the eye position of a database. In this paper, a fully automatic facial recognition algorithm is proposed such that Gabor and LBP features are extracted from fiducial points of a face graph which was created by using fiducial points based on the eyes, nose, mouth and border lines of a face, fitted on the face image. In this algorithm, the recognition performance could be increased because a face graph can be fitted on a face image automatically and fiducial points based LPB features are implemented with the basic Gabor features. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can be used in real-time recognition for more than 1,000 faces and produce good recognition performance for each data set.
