图像分析：LBP特征解析与代码

LBP(Local Binary Patterns)，即局部二值模式，是一种描述图像局部空间结构的非参数算子。芬兰Oulu大学的T.Ojala等人于1996年提出这个算子用来分析图像纹理特征，并且描述了它在纹理分类中的强区分能力。LBP算子定义为一种灰度尺度不变的纹理算子，是从局部邻域纹理的普通定义得来的。

基本思想是：用中心像素的灰度值作为阈值，与它的邻域相比较得到的二进制码来表述局部纹理特征。

在纹理分析方面，LBP算子是最好的纹理描述符之一，它的主要优点有以下几点：

Ø 通过它的定义可知，LBP算子的灰度尺度不随任何单一变换而变化，因此灰度尺度的鲁棒性好，也就是光照条件下的鲁棒性好；

Ø 计算速度快。由于它可以通过在小邻域内进行比较操作得到，使得在复杂的实时条件下分析图像成为可能；

Ø 由于 LBP 算子是一种无参数 (Non-Parametric) 的方法，在应用过程中不需要对它的分布进行预先假设。

%LBP returns the local binary pattern image or LBP histogram of an image.
%  J = LBP(I,R,N,MAPPING,MODE) returns either a local binary pattern
%  coded image or the local binary pattern histogram of an intensity
%  image I. The LBP codes are computed using N sampling points on a 
%  circle of radius R and using mapping table defined by MAPPING. 
%  See the getmapping function for different mappings and use 0 for
%  no mapping. Possible values for MODE are
%       'h' or 'hist'  to get a histogram of LBP codes
%       'nh'           to get a normalized histogram
%  Otherwise an LBP code image is returned.
%
%  J = LBP(I) returns the original (basic) LBP histogram of image I
%
%  J = LBP(I,SP,MAPPING,MODE) computes the LBP codes using n sampling
%  points defined in (n * 2) matrix SP. The sampling points should be
%  defined around the origin (coordinates (0,0)).
%
%  Examples
%  --------
%       I=imread('rice.png');
%       mapping=getmapping(8,'u2'); 
%       H1=LBP(I,1,8,mapping,'h'); %LBP histogram in (8,1) neighborhood
%                                  %using uniform patterns
%       subplot(2,1,1),stem(H1);
%
%       H2=LBP(I);
%       subplot(2,1,2),stem(H2);
%
%       SP=[-1 -1; -1 0; -1 1; 0 -1; -0 1; 1 -1; 1 0; 1 1];
%       I2=LBP(I,SP,0,'i'); %LBP code image using sampling points in SP
%                           %and no mapping. Now H2 is equal to histogram
%                           %of I2.

% Authors: Marko Heikkil�and Timo Ahonen

% Changelog
% Version 0.3.2: A bug fix to enable using mappings together with a
% predefined spoints array
% Version 0.3.1: Changed MAPPING input to be a struct containing the mapping
% table and the number of bins to make the function run faster with high number
% of sampling points. Lauge Sorensen is acknowledged for spotting this problem.

%GETMAPPING returns a structure containing a mapping table for LBP codes.
%  MAPPING = GETMAPPING(SAMPLES,MAPPINGTYPE) returns a structure containing a mapping table for

%       'ri'   for rotation-invariant LBP
%       'riu2' for uniform rotation-invariant LBP.

%       LBPHIST=lbp(I,2,16,MAPPING,'hist');
%  Now LBPHIST contains a rotation-invariant uniform LBP  histogram in a (16,2) neighbourhood.
