IMAGE SEGMENTATION

Process of splitting an entire image into a set of

regions

Segmentation is useful for

Image Analysis for which it is considered as initial step
Image compression since homogeneous regions can be
encoded more compactly

IMAGE SEGMENTATION

TEXTURE SEGMENTATION

Partitioning of an image into regions, each

of which contains a single texture distinct
from its neighbors.

TEXTURE

We can define texture as repeating patterns

of some pixel values in image intensity in a
periodic manner.

ULBP

UNIFORM LOCAL BINARY

PATTERN APPROACH

A Texture image is decomposed into many

patterns

The key concept of ULBP method is the

computation of the intensity relations
between the pixels in a small neighborhood
and not their original intensity values.

UNIFORM LOCAL BINARY

PATTERN APPROACH

Local Binary pattern Approach:

The idea:
Measure texture by examining the 8-neighbors of every pixel p
to see if their intensity is greater than that of p.

The process:
Construct an 8-digit binary number b1b2b3b4b5b6b7b8 such that
bi = 1 if the intensity of the ith neighbor is > that of p and 0
otherwise.

UNIFORM LOCAL BINARY

PATTERN APPROACH
Uniform patterns are identified
Uniformity refers to the patterns that have
at most 2 spatial transitions or bitwise 0/1
changes in the pattern
For example, patterns 00000000 2 and
111111112 have U value of 0

2. 11111111 - 0
3. 01000000 - 2
4. 01100000 - 2
5. 01110000 - 2
6. 01111000 - 2
7. 01111100 - 2
8. 01111110 - 2
9. 01111111 - 2

SEGMENTATION THROUGH
UNIFORM LOCAL BINARY PATTERN APPROACH
Algorithm:

Select sample sub image of 30*30 pixels

from each texture image (one sample per
texture)
Calculate ULBP for each sample sub
image, by moving the 3*3 matrix, across
the sample with overlap
Scan the input image by a window of
30*30 pixels and calculate the ULBP for
each window.
Calculate the absolute difference between
the ULBP of each window and one of the
each sample
The central pixel of the window
considered will be assigned to any one of
the sample class k such that D(K) is
minimum
