Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) Descriptors

1、New Texture Descriptors

Inspired by the huge success of the Local Binary Pattern (LBP) method, we have also proposed new local texture descriptors, including the blur-insensitive Local Phase Quantization (LPQ) method and the descriptor based on Weber's law (WLD) that have provided state-of-the-art performance e.g. in face recognition and texture classification problems. Both LPQ and WLD are related but complementary to the LBP method.

2、Local Phase Quantization (LPQ)

Fourier phase spectrum can be shown to be invariant to image blurring with centrally symmetric point spread functions (PSF) at such frequencies where the Fourier transform of the PSF is positive. In many cases real image blur can be approximated by Gaussian blur, linear motion blur, or disk-s
