Learning binarized pixel-difference pattern for scene recognition

Local binary pattern (LBP) and its variants have been used in scene recognition. However, most existing approaches rely on a pre-defined LBP structure to extract features. Those pre-defined structures can be generalized as the patterns constructed from the binarized pixel differences in a local neighborhood. Instead of using a handcraft structure, we propose to learn binarized pixel-difference patterns (BPP). We cast the problem as a feature selection problem and solve it by an incremental search via the criterion of minimum-redundancy-maximum-relevance. Then, BPP features are extracted based on the structures derived. On two challenging scene recognition databases, the proposed approach significantly outperforms the state of the arts.
