Face description with local binary patterns: application to face recognition

Timo Ahonen et al. IEEE Trans Pattern Anal Mach Intell. 2006 Dec.

Abstract

This paper presents a novel and efficient facial image representation based on local binary pattern (LBP) texture features. The face image is divided into several regions from which the LBP feature distributions are extracted and concatenated into an enhanced feature vector to be used as a face descriptor. The performance of the proposed method is assessed in the face recognition problem under different challenges. Other applications and several extensions are also discussed.
