LBP Library

Last Page Update: 21/07/2016

Latest Library Version: 1.0.0 (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 2.4.10.

Tests with OpenCV 3 are being conducted, and new changes can be made soon.

		//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);
