Local Binary Patterns implementation using Python 3

Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is a simple yet very efficient texture operator which labels the pixels of an image by thresholding the neighborhood of each pixel and considers the result as a binary number. Click here to learn more.

Moreover, I also added a pattern code for two bins only to compare the result of LBP and two bin pattern.

Packages Used

The program is coded using Windows 10 (64 bit) operating system with Python version 3.5.2.

The following packages are necessary to run the program:

Package	Version	Installation
OpenCV	3.2.0	pip install opencv-python
Numpy	1.11.3	pip install numpy
Matplotlib	1.5.3	pip install matplotlib

Image Used

• Click to download original image of Lena Söderberg

Output of lbp.py

The output consists of the gray scale image, LBP representation image and LBP histogram.

Output of two_bin.py

The output consists of the gray scale image, Two Bin representation image and Two Bin histogram.
