Structural Texture Features

Structural feature Qualitative description Mathematical description
Local Binary Pattern (LBP) Intensity variation between a pixel and its neighboring pixels. LBP(xc,yc)=p=0P1q(IpIc)2P,(xp,yp)=[xc+Qcos(2πpP),ycQsin(2πpP)]
Ic and Ip are gray-level intensity values for pixel (xc,yc) and pixel (xp,yp).
q = indicator function, 0 for negative inputs and 1 for non-negative inputs.Q, P = parameters to set pixel neighborhood size, set to 1 and 8, respectively.39,40
