This paper presents a new texture descriptor booster, Complete Local Oriented Statistical Information Booster (CLOSIB), based on statistical information of the image. Our proposal uses the statistical information of the texture provided by the image gray-levels differences to increase the discriminative capability of Local Binary Patterns (LBP)-based and other texture descriptors. We demonstrated that Half-CLOSIB and M-CLOSIB versions are more efficient and precise than the general one. H-CLOSIB may eliminate redundant statistical information and the multi-scale version, M-CLOSIB, is more robust. We evaluated our method using four datasets: KTH TIPS (2-a) for material recognition, UIUC and USPTex for general texture recognition and JAFFE for face recognition. The results show that when we combine CLOSIB with well-known LBP-based descriptors, the hit rate increases in all the cases, introducing in this way the idea that CLOSIB can be used to enhance the description of texture in a significant number of situations. Additionally, a comparison with recent algorithms demonstrates that a combination of LBP methods with CLOSIB variants obtains comparable results to those of the state-of-the-art.


Face Recognition (FR) is considered as one of the chief use in the investigation of criminals. In the majority of the cases, information about the criminal is not available. In such situations, sketch artist draw the sketch of the guess with the oral explanation provided by the eyewitness. These sketches can then be matched manually against mug shot photos. This process is time-consuming. Hence there require a method that efficiently goes with composite sketches to the gallery of mug shot databases. Thus the proposed system uses a scheme for matching composite sketch and photo images, photo image features are extracted and fused to train the system. Composite Sketch feature is matched with face photo images. Feature extraction (FE) is done using Multi-Scale Local Binary Patterns (MLBP) Tchebichef Moments and Multiscale Circular Weber Local Descriptor (MCWLD), Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used for fusion of extracted features, DCNN used as a classifier to recognize the face. The experiments are conducted using PRIP-HDC dataset and the proposed system gives good accuracy in face recognition.

In this paper, a novel approach derived from image gradient domain called multi-scale gradient faces (MGF) is proposed to abstract multi-scale illumination-insensitive measure for face recognition. MGF applies multi-scale analysis on image gradient information, which can discover underlying inherent structure in images and keep the details at most while removing varying lighting. The proposed approach provides state-of-the-art performance on Extended YaleB and PIE: Recognition rates of 99.11% achieved on PIE database and 99.38% achieved on YaleB which outperforms most existing approaches. Furthermore, the experimental results on noised Yale-B validate that MGF is more robust to image noise.
