Multichannel Decoded Local Binary Patterns for Content-Based Image Retrieval.
Local binary pattern (LBP) is widely adopted for efficient image feature description and simplicity. To describe the color images, it is required to combine the LBPs from each channel of the image. The traditional way of binary combination is to simply concatenate the LBPs from each channel, but it increases the dimensionality of the pattern. In order to cope with this problem, this paper proposes a novel method for image description with multichannel decoded LBPs. We introduce adder- and decoder-based two schemas for the combination of the LBPs from more than one channel. Image retrieval experiments are performed to observe the effectiveness of the proposed approaches and compared with the existing ways of multichannel techniques. The experiments are performed over 12 benchmark natural scene and color texture image databases, such as Corel-1k, MIT-VisTex, USPTex, Colored Brodatz, and so on. It is observed that the introduced multichannel adder- and decoder-based LBPs significantly improve the retrieval performance over each database and outperform the other multichannel-based approaches in terms of the average retrieval precision and average retrieval rate.
