Local Binary Patterns and Its Extended Variants

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the Local Binary Patterns and its various important variants. LBP is a non-parametric descriptor and used to extract, analyze, recognize and classify the different modality images. It summarizes the local patterns of image characteristics efficiently. LBP and its many extended versions have been extensively used in numerous applications of computer vision, image processing, pattern recognition and biomedical field in recent years. Very discriminative and computationally efficient local texture descriptors based on local binary patterns (LBPs) is studied, which led to significant progress in applying texture methods to different problems and applications. The efficiency and usability of the LBP operator and its success in various real world applications has inspired the development of much new powerful LBP variants. In this paper, the important extensions of LBP using local structure of the image are extensively reviewed.
