ABSTRACT

The rapid growth of image data has led to the development of advanced image processing and computer vision techniques, which are crucial in various applications such as image classification, image segmentation, and pattern recognition. Texture is an important feature that has been widely used in many image processing tasks. Therefore, analyzing and understanding texture plays a pivotal role in image analysis and understanding.Local binary pattern (LBP) is a powerful operator that describes the local texture features of images. This paper provides a novel mathematical representation of the LBP by separating the operator into three matrices, two of which are always fixed and do not depend on the input data. These fixed matrices are analyzed in depth, and a new algorithm is proposed to optimize them for improved classification performance. The optimization process is based on the singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm. As a result, the authors present optimal LBPs that effectively describe the texture of human face images. Several experiment results presented in this paper convincingly verify the efficiency and superiority of the optimized LBPs for face detection and facial expression recognition tasks.

研究动机与目标

  • 为解决标准LBP在纹理分类中表现欠佳的问题,识别最优LBP模式。
  • 通过矩阵分解对LBP过程进行数学重构,以实现更深入的分析与优化。
  • 在保持或提升分类准确率的前提下,减少所需LBP特征的数量。
  • 提出一种系统化方法,基于固定矩阵的奇异值分解选择最优LBP模式。
  • 在真实世界数据集上验证所提方法在人脸识别与面部表情识别任务中的性能。

提出的方法

  • 将LBP算子表示为三个矩阵的乘积:LBP矩阵(E)、分块矩阵(L)和直方图矩阵(H),以支持数学分析。
  • 识别出三个矩阵中的两个(L和H)为固定矩阵,且与输入数据无关,从而实现预优化。
  • 对固定矩阵L和H应用奇异值分解(SVD),以计算最大化分类性能的最优值。
  • 推导出最优的8位二进制LBP模式,其主要为均匀模式(0与1之间的跳变最多两次)。
  • 提出一种新算法(算法2),基于SVD优化的矩阵仅提取最具判别力的LBP特征。
  • 使用线性SVM结合交叉验证,评估在人脸识别与表情识别任务中的性能。
