Extended Mapping Local Binary Pattern Operator for Texture Classification

In this paper, an Extended Mapping Local Binary Pattern (EMLBP) method is proposed that is used for texture feature extraction. In this method, by extending nonuniform patterns a new mapping technique is suggested that extracts more discriminative features from textures. This new mapping is tested for some LBP operators such as CLBP, LBP, and LTP to improve the classification rate of them. The proposed approach is used for coding nonuniform patterns into more than one feature. The proposed method is rotation invariant and has all the positive points of previous approaches. By concatenating and joining two or more histograms significant improvement can be made for rotation invariant texture classification. The implementation of proposed mapping on Outex, UIUC and CUReT datasets shows that proposed method can improve the rate of classifications. Furthermore, the introduced mapping can increase the performance of any rotation invariant LBP, especially for large neighborhood. The most accurate result of the proposed technique has been obtained for CLBP. It is higher than that of some state-of-the-art LBP versions such as multiresolution CLBP and CLBC, DLBP, VZ_MR8, VZ_Joint, LTP, and LBPV.
