Rotated Local Binary Pattern (RLBP) - Rotation Invariant Texture Descriptor

Abstract

In this paper we propose two novel rotation invariant local texture descriptors. They are based on Local Binary Pattern (LBP), which is one of the most effective and frequently used texture descriptor. Although LBP efficiently captures the local structure, it is not rotation invariant. In the proposed methods, a dominant direction is evaluated in a circular neighbourhood and the descriptor is computed with respect to it. The weights associated with the neighbouring pixels are circularly shifted with respect to this dominant direction. Further, in the second descriptor, the uniformity of the patterns is utilized to extract more discriminative information. The proposed methods are tested for the task of texture classification and the performance is compared with original LBP and its existed extensions.
