A Mean Pyramid Strategy for Binary Pattern Family

This paper proposes a novel mean pyramid strategy for binary pattern family. The mean pyramid strategy can help the binary pattern family to capture robust multilayer local texture structure instead of the traditional single pixel value. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, we apply the mean pyramid strategy to the classical completed local binary pattern and present the completed mean pyramid local binary pattern for texture classification tasks. The experimental results on Outex database show that the proposed mean pyramid strategy can significantly enhances the classification performance of binary pattern family.
