Face recognition method based on dynamic threshold local binary pattern

ABSTRACT

As the traditional LBP algorithm only considers the single threshold characteristics without using the relationship between the threshold and the neighbor pixels, the useful characteristics will be lost. In this paper a method of face recognition based on Dynamic Threshold Local Binary Pattern (DTLBP) is proposed. In DTLBP the binary digit is encoded with a dynamic threshold, which is adjusted by the relationship of neighborhood pixels gray value and the central pixel gray value. The DTLBP method, proposed by this paper, uses dynamic threshold to encode, and computes the statistic histogram referring to the work in LBP method. Finally, the experimental results based on Yale B, CMU PIE and ORL face databases show that the method is superior to the traditional LBP and LTP method.
