Symmetrical Invariant LBP Texture Descriptor and Application for Image Retrieval

In this paper, we present a symmetrical invariant LBP (SILBP) texture descriptor based on the texture pattern equivalent, which is defined according to visual perception of textures. Then we extend the SILBP to linear SILBP. Our experiments on image retrieval show that the proposed texture discriptor has the advantages of symmetrical invariant, rotation robustness and computing simplicity.
