Adaptive Threshold and Weighted Frequency Domain Histogram of Local Binary Patterns

Abstract

Wire ropes are crucial load-bearing components in mining conveyance equipment, and machine vision is one of the methods used to assess the surface damage condition of wire ropes. In response to the light-sensitive nature of local binary patterns, which leads to issues such as differing feature values for similar textures and susceptibility to the influence of excessively large or small pixels within local windows, hindering the accurate reflection of window structure information and exacerbating the introduction of considerable feature noise, an investigation is conducted. To enhance the gradient structural information among pixels within local pixel window, an adaptive threshold binary pattern feature operator is proposed. This operator utilizes the mean and variance within the local window to balance the central pixel value, thereby enhancing the interconnection among neighboring pixels. To perform feature selection on block histograms, a block-weighted approach is employed. This approach utilizes the concept of block weighting and employs correlation coefficients to preprocess feature vectors, thereby enhancing classification accuracy. The algorithm experiments were conducted on a dataset of mine wire ropes. The results indicate that the improved local binary pattern significantly enhances the classification accuracy of the wire rope dataset, achieving an accuracy of 97.3%.
