Abstract
In this paper, a new algorithm which is based on the graph cut theory and local binary patterns (LBP) for content
based image retrieval (CBIR) is proposed. In graph cut theory, each node is compared with the all other nodes
for edge map generation. The same concept is utilized at LBP calculation which is generating nine LBP patterns
from a given 3×3 pattern. Finally, nine LBP histograms are calculated which are used as a feature vector for
image retrieval. Two experiments have been carried out for proving the worth of our algorithm. It is further
mentioned that the database considered for experiments are Brodatz database (DB1), and MIT VisTex database
(DB2). The results after being investigated shows a significant improvement in terms of their evaluation
measures as compared to LBP and other existing transform domain techniques.
Keywords: Feature Extraction; Local Binary Patterns; Image Retrieval

1. Introduction
With the rapid expansion of worldwide network and advances in information technology there is an explosive
growth of multimedia databases and digital libraries. This demands an effective tool that allow users to search
and browse efficiently through such a large collections. In many areas of commerce, government, academia,
hospitals, entertainment, and crime preventions large collections of digital images are being created. Usually, the
only way of searching these collections was by using keyword indexing, or simply by browsing. However, as
the databases grew larger, people realized that the traditional keywords based methods to retrieve a particular
image in such a large collection are inefficient. To describe the images with keywords with a satisfying degree
of concreteness and detail, we need a very large and sophisticated keyword system containing typically several
hundreds of different keywords. One of the serious drawbacks of this approach is the need of trained personnel
not only to attach keywords to each image (which may take several minutes for one single image) but also to
retrieve images by selecting keywords, as we usually need to know all keywords to choose good ones. Further,
such a keyword based approach is mostly influenced by subjective decision about image content and also it is
very difficult to change a keyword based system afterwards. Therefore, new techniques are needed to overcome
these limitations. Digital image databases however, open the way to content based searching. It is common
phrase that an image speaks thousands of words. So instead of manual annotation by text based keywords,
images should be indexed by their own visual contents, such as color, texture and shape. The main advantage of
this method is its ability to support the visual queries. Hence researchers turned attention to content based image
retrieval (CBIR) methods. Several methods achieving effective feature extraction have been proposed in the
literature [Rui et al., Smeulders et al., kokare et al., and Liu et al.].
Swain et al. proposed the concept of color histogram in 1991 and also introduced the histogram intersection
distance metric to measure the distance between the histograms of images. Stricker et al. used the first three
central moments called mean, standard deviation and skewness of each color for image retrieval. Pass et al.
introduced color coherence vector (CCV). CCV partitions the each histogram bin into two types, i.e., coherent,
if it belongs to a large uniformly colored region or incoherent, if it does not. Huang et al. used a new color
feature called color correlogram which characterizes not only the color distributions of pixels, but also spatial
correlation of pair of colors. Lu et al. proposed color feature based on vector quantized (VQ) index histograms
in the discrete cosine transform (DCT) domain. They computed 12 histograms, four for each color component

from 12 DCT-VQ index sequences.
Texture is another salient and indispensable feature for CBIR. Smith et al. used the mean and variance of the
wavelet coefficients as texture features for CBIR. Moghaddam et al. proposed the Gabor wavelet correlogram
(GWC) for CBIR. Ahmadian et al. used the wavelet transform for texture classification. Moghaddam et al.
introduced new algorithm called wavelet correlogram (WC). Saadatmand et al. improved the performance of
WC algorithm by optimizing the quantization thresholds using genetic algorithm (GA). Birgale et al. and
Subrahmanyam et al. combined the color (color histogram) and texture (wavelet transform) features for CBIR.
Subrahmanyam et al. proposed correlogram algorithm for image retrieval using wavelets and rotated wavelets
(WC+RWC).
The recently proposed local binary pattern (LBP) features are designed for texture description. Ojala et al.
proposed the LBP and these LBPs are converted to rotational invariant for texture classification. Pietikainen et
al. proposed the rotational invariant texture classification using feature distributions. Ahonen et al. and Zhao et
al used the LBP operator facial expression analysis and recognition. Heikkila et al. proposed the background
modeling and detection by using LBP. Huang et al. proposed the extended LBP for shape localization. Heikkila
et al. used the LBP for interest region description. Li et al. used the combination of Gabor filter and LBP for
texture segmentation. Zhang et al. proposed the local derivative pattern for face recognition. They have
considered LBP as a nondirectional first order local pattern, which are the binary results of the first-order
derivative in images.
To improve the retrieval performance in terms of retrieval accuracy, in this paper, we proposed the graph cut
based local binary patterns (GCLBP) for CBIR. Two experiments have been carried out on Brodatz and MIT
VisTex databases for proving the worth of our algorithm. The results after being investigated show a significant
improvement in terms of their evaluation measures as compared to LBP and other existing transform domain
techniques.
The organization of the paper as follows: In section 1, a brief review of image retrieval and related work is
given. Section 2, presents a concise review of local binary patterns (LBP). Section 3, presents the feature
extraction, proposed system framework, and similarity measure. Experimental results and discussions are given
in section 4. Based on above work conclusions are derived in section 5.

2. 2. Local Binary Patterns
Ojala et al. proposed the local binary pattern (LBP) operator which describes the surroundings of a pixel by
generating a bit-code from the binary derivatives of a pixel as a complementary measure for local image
contrast. The LBP operator takes the eight neighboring pixels using the center gray value as a threshold. The
operator generates a binary code 1 if the neighbor is greater or equal than the center otherwise generates a binary
code 0. The eight neighboring binary code can be represented by a 8-bit number. The LBP operator outputs for
all the pixels in the image can be accumulated to form a histogram. Fig.1 shows an example of LBP operator.
For given a center pixel in the image, LBP value is computed by comparing it with those of its neighborhoods:
P −1
LBPP , R = ∑ 2i × f ( gi − g c )
i =0
(1)
1 x≥0
f ( x) = 
0 else
(2)
where gc is the gray value of the center pixel, g i is the gray value of its neighbors, P is the number of
neighbors and R is the radius of the neighborhood. Fig. 2 shows the examples of circular neighbor sets for
different configurations of ( P, R) .
The LBP measure the local structure by assigning unique identifiers, the binary number, to various micro-
structures in the image. Thus, LBP capture many structures in one unified framework. In the example in Fig.
3(b), the local structure is a vertical edge with a leftward intensity gradient. Other microstructures are assigned
different LBP codes, e.g., corners and spots, as illustrated in Fig. 4. By varying the radius R and the number of
samples P, the structures are measured at different scales, and LBP allows for measuring large scale structures
without smoothing effects, as is, e.g., the case for Gaussian-based filters.

Fig. 2: Circular neighborhood sets for different (P,R)

Fig. 3. Illustration of LBP. (a) The LBP filter is defined by two parameters; the circle radius R and the number of
samples P on the circle. (b) Local structure is measured w.r.t. a given pixel by placing the center of the circle in
the position of that pixel. (c) Samples on the circle are binarized by thresholding with the intensity in the center
pixel as threshold value. Black is zero and white is one. The example image shown in (b) has an LBP code of
124. (d) Rotating the example image in (b) 900 clockwise reduces the LBP code to 31, which is the smallest
possible code for this binary pattern. This principle is used to achieve rotation invariance.

Fig. 4: Various microstructures measured by LBP. The gray circle indicates the center pixel. Black and white
circles are binarized samples; black is zero and white is one.
After identifying the LBP pattern of each pixel (j, k), the whole image is represented by building a histogram:

20 | P a g e

Vol 1, No.1, 2011
N1 N2
H LBP (l ) = ∑∑ f (LBP ( j , k ), l ); l ∈ [0, (2 P − 1)]
j =1 k =1

(3)
1 x= y
f ( x, y ) = 
0 else
(4)
where the size of input image is N1 × N 2 .

3. 3. Feature Extraction
The weighted graph (Li Xi et al.,) with no self loops is G = (V , E ,W ) , where V = {1, 2,......., N } the node set is
(N=m.n is the total number of pixels in Q ∈ R m×n ) E ⊆ V × V represents the edge set, and W = ( wij ) denotes
N×N

an affinity matrix with the element wij being the edge weight between nodes i and j.
Based on the above graph cut theory we compare the each pixel of 3×3 pattern with remaining eight pixel gray
values for generating binary code. Finally, nine LBP patterns are collected for LBP histogram calculation and
these are used as a feature vector for image retrieval. The flowchart of the proposed system is shown in Fig. 5
and algorithm for the same is given below:

3.1 Proposed System Framework (GCLBP)
