점진 학습은 비교적 높은 얼굴 추적 성능을 보이지만, 환경적인 변화로 인해 추적에 오차가 발생하면 그 이후의 추적에 오차가 전파되어 추적 성능이 감소한다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는, 다양한 변이 조건에서 강인하게 동작할 수 있는 선택적인 점진 학습 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 개별 프레임에 대해 LBP(Local Binary Pattern) 특징을 추출하여 사용함으로써 조명 변이에 보다 강인하게 동작 할수 있고, Staggered Multi-Scale LBP를 사용하여 점진 학습에 사용할 패치(patch)를 선택하여 이전 프레임에서의 오차가 전파되는 것을 방지하였다. 실험을 통해, 제안한 방법이 조명 변이와 같은 환경적 변이가 존재하는 비디오 영상에 대해서도 기존의 추적 방법들보다 우수한 얼굴 추적 성능을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Nowadays, with the development of signal processing technique, the protection to the integrity and authenticity of images has become a topic of great concern. A blind image authentication technology with high tamper detection accuracy for different common attacks is urgently needed. In this paper, an improved fragile watermarking method based on local binary pattern (LBP) is presented for blind tamper location in images. In this method, a binary watermark is generated by LBP operator which is often utilized in face identification and texture analysis. In order to guarantee the safety of the proposed algorithm, Arnold transform and logistic map are used to scramble the authentication watermark. Then, the least significant bits (LSBs) of original pixels are substituted by the encrypted watermark. Since the authentication data is constructed from the image itself, no original image is needed in tamper detection. The LBP map of watermarked image is compared to the extracted authentication data to determine whether it is tampered or not. In comparison with other state-of-the-art schemes, various experiments prove that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance in forgery detection and location for baleful attacks.

Smoke detection plays an important role for the early detection of fire. In this paper, we suggest a newly developed method that generated LBPV(Local Binary Pattern Variance)s as special feature vectors from RGB contrast images can be applied to detect smoke using SVM(Support Vector Machine). The proposed method rearranges mean value of the block from each R, G, B channel and its intensity of the mean value. Additionally, it generates RGB contrast image which indicates each RGB channel’s contrast via smoke’s achromatic color. Uniform LBPV, Rotation-Invariance LBPV, Rotation-Invariance Uniform LBPV are applied to RGB Contrast images so that it could generate feature vector from the form of LBP. It helps to distinguish between smoke and non smoke area through SVM. Experimental results show that true positive detection rate is similar but false positive detection rate has been improved, although the proposed method reduced numbers of feature vector in half comparing with the existing method with LBP and LBPV.

본 논문에서는 LBP와 HSV 컬러 히스토그램을 이용한 내용 기반 영상 검색 방법을 제안한다. 영상 검색 시스템에서는 텍스트가 아닌 사용자가 원하는 특정한 객체를 포함하는 영상을 질의로 입력하여 원하는 영상을 검색한다. 대부분의 연구에서는 색상, 질감, 모양 등과 같은 전역 특징 값을 이용하여 영상을 검색한다. 이러한 전역 특징 값들은 하늘이나 바닥과 같은 배경이 큰 부분을 차지하는 영상에서는 특징 값의 대부분이 배경에서 추출되어 영상 검색의 성능 저하를 초래한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 컬러를 이용하여 영상의 배경을 고속으로 검출하고 배경의 영향을 줄여 관심 객체의 특징을 강조한다. 제안된 방법에서는 특징 값으로 HSV 컬러 히스토그램과 Local Binary Patterns을 사용한다. 또한, 색의 경계 부분의 패턴을 추출하기 위해 양자화 된 Hue 채널에서 Local Binary Patterns을 추출한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능 검증하기 위해, Corel 1000 database를 이용하여 실험한 결과 82% 이상의 높은 검색 정확도를 나타내었다.

We propose an enhanced version of the local binary pattern (LBP) operator for texture extraction in images in the context of image retrieval. The novelty of our proposal is based on the observation that the LBP exploits only the lowest kind of local information through the global histogram. However, such global Histograms reflect only the statistical distribution of the various LBP codes in the image. The block based LBP, which uses local histograms of the LBP, was one of few tentative to catch higher level textural information. We believe that important local and useful information in between the two levels is just ignored by the two schemas. The newly developed method: gradual locality integration of binary patterns (GLIBP) is a novel attempt to catch as much local information as possible, in a gradual fashion. Indeed, GLIBP aggregates the texture features present in grayscale images extracted by LBP through a complex structure. The used framework is comprised of a multitude of ellipse-shaped regions that are arranged in circular-concentric forms of increasing size. The framework of ellipses is in fact derived from a simple parameterized generator. In addition, the elliptic forms allow targeting texture directionality, which is a very useful property in texture characterization. In addition, the general framework of ellipses allows for taking into account the spatial information (specifically rotation). The effectiveness of GLIBP was investigated on the Corel-1K (Wang) dataset. It was also compared to published works including the very effective DLEP. Results show significant higher or comparable performance of GLIBP with regard to the other methods, which qualifies it as a good tool for scene images retrieval.

Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and its variants have powerful discriminative capabilities but most of them just consider each LBP code independently. In this paper, we propose sub oriented histograms of LBP for smoke detection and image classification. We first extract LBP codes from an image, compute the gradient of LBP codes, and then calculate sub oriented histograms to capture spatial relations of LBP codes. Since an LBP code is just a label without any numerical meaning, we use Hamming distance to estimate the gradient of LBP codes instead of Euclidean distance. We propose to use two coordinates systems to compute two orientations, which are quantized into discrete bins. For each pair of the two discrete orientations, we generate a sub LBP code map from the original LBP code map, and compute sub oriented histograms for all sub LBP code maps. Finally, all the sub oriented histograms are concatenated together to form a robust feature vector, which is input into SVM for training and classifying. Experiments show that our approach not only has better performance than existing methods in smoke detection, but also has good performance in texture classification.

최근 얼굴 표정 인식에 있어 영상 기반의 방법의 하나로서 ULBP 블록 히스토그램 피쳐와 SVM을 분류기로 사용한 연구가 수행되었다. Ojala 등에 의해 소개된 LBP는 높은 식별력과 조명의 변화에 대한 내구성과 간단한 연산 때문에 영상 인식 분야에 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ULBP 블록 히스토그램을 계산함에 있어 분할 영역의 이동, 크기 변화에 더하여 미세한 특징 요소를 표현할 수 있도록 $LBP_{8,2}$과 $LBP_{8,1}$를 결합하였다. $LBP_{8,1}$ 660개, $LBP_{8,2}$ 550개의 분할 창으로부터 1210개의 ULBP 히스토그램 피쳐를 추출하고 이로부터 AdaBoost를 이용하여 50개의 약 분류기를 생성하였다. $LBP_{8,1}$와 $LBP_{8,2}$가 결합된 하이브리드 형태의 ULBP 블록 히스토그램 피쳐와 SVM 분류기를 이용함으로써 표정 인식률을 향상시킬 수 있었으며 다양한 실험을 통하여 이를 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 하이브리드 Boosted ULBP 히스토그램의 경우에 표정의 인식률이 96.3%로 가장 높은 결과를 보였으며 제안한 방법의 우수성을 확인하였다.

The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has good multi-resolution decomposition characteristic and its low frequency component contains the basic information of an image. Based on this, a fragile watermarking using the local binary pattern (LBP) and DWT is proposed for image authentication. In this method, the LBP pattern of low frequency wavelet coefficients is adopted as a feature watermark, and it is inserted into the least significant bit (LSB) of the maximum pixel value in each block of host image. To guarantee the safety of the proposed algorithm, the logistic map is applied to encrypt the watermark. In addition, the locations of the maximum pixel values are stored in advance, which will be used to extract watermark on the receiving side. Due to the use of DWT, the watermarked image generated by the proposed scheme has high visual quality. Compared with other state-of-the-art watermarking methods, experimental results manifest that the proposed algorithm not only has lower watermark payloads, but also achieves good performance in tamper identification and localization for various attacks.

This paper proposes new methods, named Derivative Code (DerivativeCode) and Derivative Code Pattern (DCP), for object recognition. The discriminative derivative code is used to capture the local relationship in the input image by concatenating binary results of the mathematical derivative value. Gabor based DerivativeCode is directly used to solve the palmprint recognition problem, which achieves a much better performance than the state-of-art results on the PolyU palmprint database. A new local pattern method, named Derivative Code Pattern (DCP), is further introduced to calculate the local pattern feature based on Dervativecode for object recognition. Similar to local binary pattern (LBP), DCP can be further combined with Gabor features and modeled by spatial histogram. To evaluate the performance of DCP and Gabor-DCP, we test them on the FERET and PolyU infrared face databases, and experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a better result than LBP and some state-of-the-arts.
