Hence we propose a new descriptor called Local Contrast Patterns(LCP), which encode the joint diffefrence distribution of patterns (edges, points, blobs) attributed by multi-order image derivatives. While a suitable derivative appears sufficient for texture representation, we proposed two simple algorithms that combines nine dirrectional derivatives through local bit frequency and contrast-ratio maximization. Global RGB color histogram is then combined with the proposed LCP for color-texture retrieval. Experiments with the grayscale (Brodatz album) and color-texture (MIT VisTex) databases show very impressive outcomes by the proposed approach.}, pages = {55--56}, publisher = {INTELLIGENT MEDIA INTEGRATION NAGOYA UNIVERSITY / COE}, title = {Image Retrieval By Local Contrast Patterns and Color Histogram}, year = {2006} }
