Demographic Classification with Local Binary Patterns

چکیده
LBP (Local Binary Pattern) as an image operator is used to extract LBPH (LBP histogram) features for texture description. In this paper, we present a novel method to use LBPH feature in ordinary binary classification problem. Given a restricted local patch, the Chi square distance between the extracted LBPH and a reference histogram is used as a measure of confidence belonging to the reference class, and an optimal reference histogram is obtained by iteratively optimization; real AdaBoost algorithm is used to learn a sequence of best local features iteratively and combine them into a strong classifier. The experiments on age, gender and ethnicity classification demonstrate its effectiveness.

Feature selection using genetic algorithm for classification of schizophrenia using fMRI data
In this paper we propose a new method for classification of subjects into schizophrenia and control groups using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. In the preprocessing step, the number of fMRI time points is reduced using principal component analysis (PCA). Then, independent component analysis (ICA) is used for further data analysis. It estimates independent components (ICs) of...

Background: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and increased fracture risk. Since Panoramic image is a feasible and relatively routine imaging technique in dentistry; it could provide an opportunistic chance for screening osteoporosis. In this regard, numerous...
متن کاملFacial expression recognition based on Local Binary Patterns
Classical LBP such as complexity and high dimensions of feature vectors that make it necessary to apply dimension reduction processes. In this paper, we introduce an improved LBP algorithm to solve these problems that utilizes Fast PCA algorithm for reduction of vector dimensions of extracted features. In other words, proffer method (Fast PCA+LBP) is an improved LBP algorithm that is extracted ...
متن کاملAutomatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
