Abstract

Local binary pattern (LBP) serves as a highly powerful method for texture classification. LBP and its variant methods are extensively applied across various domains of image processing.In increasingly complex imaging environments, LBP faces two issues: (1) Loss of detail information during feature extraction. (2) Sensitivity to noise. To mitigate these issues, this paper proposes a method called Local Enhancement and Non-local Median Pattern (LENMP). It consists of two operators: Local Adaptive Contrast Enhancement Pattern (LEP) and Non-local Median Binary Pattern (NMBP). The LEP operator captures the sign and magnitude details of local image characteristics, while the NMBP operator captures the global information of image features. First, the image is processed using the threshold ACE (thACE) algorithm to enhance the contrast of high-frequency information in the image, extracting image contour edge information. Then, median extraction is performed separately on the two operators to capture larger spatial texture detail information. Finally, comparative experiments are conducted on multiple datasets (Outex, CUReT, Brodatz, KTH-TIPS, and Kylberg) with representative texture classification methods. The results indicate that our proposed LENMP texture classification method exhibits good classification performance and remains competitive compared to the latest descriptors.
