Abstract. In this paper, we propose Local Binary Pattern Histogram Fourier features (LBP-HF), a novel rotation invariant image descriptor computed from discrete Fourier transforms of local binary pattern (LBP) histograms. Unlike most other histogram based invariant texture descriptors which normalize rotation locally, the proposed invariants are constructed globally for the whole region to be described. In addition to being rotation invariant, the LBP-HF features retain the highly discriminative nature of LBP histograms. In the experiments, it is shown that these features outperform non-invariant and earlier version of rotation invariant LBP and the MR8 descriptor in texture classification, material categorization and face recognition tests.
