Using large color LBP in generalized hough transform

A new color based generalized Hough transform algorithm which initially generates a similar color map between the prototype object and a test image and uses a novel Large Color Local Binary Pattern (LCLBP) descriptor on the similar color map for feature extraction and object detection is proposed. The novel LCLBP descriptor can efficiently capture the local structure of target object on the similar color map. According to the experiment results, the proposed algorithm can provide comparable accuracy with the state-of-the-art Hough algorithm, but ours is 27 times faster.
