Weber local descriptor for image analysis and recognition: a survey

Weber local descriptor (WLD) is applied for addressing the challenges in image/pattern problems, especially in computer vision and pattern recognition domains. In this paper, we review literature on theories and applications of WLD. Using WLD, we address the different challenges of image analysis and recognition features with respect to illumination changes, contrast differences, and geometrical transformations like rotation, scaling, translation, and mirroring. Further, the role of the classifiers and experimental protocols used in the different applications are discussed. Applications include texture classification, medical imaging, agricultural safety, fingerprint analysis, forgery analysis, and face recognition.
