Texture feature extracting method based on local relative phase binary pattern

In this paper, a novel local relative phase binary pattern (LRPBP) method is proposed based on LBP and relative phase for extracting texture features. In LRPBP, an image will be firstly processed through Gabor transform. And then the relative phase information of the image is extracted in the complex transform domain of Gabor. Finally, the texture feature of the image is constructed via calculating LRPBP values, which borrows the idea from the traditional LBP method for the relative phase information. The experiments are conducted on two texture image sets and the results show the good performance of LRPBP method.
