LBP Library

Last Page Update: 26/09/2018

Latest Library Version: 1.0.1 (see Release Notes for more info).

The LBP Library is a collection of eleven Local Binary Patterns (LBP) algorithms developed for background subtraction problem. The algorithms were implemented in C++ based on OpenCV. A CMake file is provided and the library is complatible with Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The library was tested successfully with OpenCV 2.4.x and OpenCV 3.4.x.

Example code

#include <iostream>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>

#include "lbplibrary.hpp"
using namespace lbplibrary;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    cv::VideoCapture cap(0);
    if (!cap.isOpened())
        return;

    LBP *lbp;
    lbp = new OLBP;
    //lbp = new ELBP;
    //lbp = new VARLBP;
    //lbp = new CSLBP;
    //lbp = new CSLDP;
    //lbp = new XCSLBP;
    //lbp = new SILTP;
    //lbp = new CSSILTP;
    //lbp = new SCSLBP;
    //lbp = new BGLBP;

    cv::Mat frame, img_lbp;
    while (1)
    {
        cap >> frame;
        cv::resize(frame, frame, cv::Size(320, 240));

        imshow("capture", frame);
        show_multi_histogram(frame);

        cv::cvtColor(frame, frame, CV_BGR2GRAY);
        //cv::GaussianBlur(frame, frame, cv::Size(7, 7), 5, 3, cv::BORDER_CONSTANT);

        imshow("gray", frame);
        show_histogram("gray_hist", frame);

        lbp->run(frame, img_lbp);
        cv::normalize(img_lbp, img_lbp, 0, 255, cv::NORM_MINMAX, CV_8UC1);

        cv::imshow("lbp", img_lbp);
        show_histogram("lbp_hist", img_lbp);

        if (cv::waitKey(10) >= 0)
            break;
    }

    delete lbp;
}
