Abstract
Serving as an effective texture description operator, local binary pattern (LBP) has been applied in the visible face recognition successfully. In order to enhance the recognition performance, the technology of face recognition depending on the near infrared (NIR) image has attracted extensive attention in the recent years. Although the characteristics of LBP have been researched in optical image thoroughly, the development of these do not catch enough attention in the NIR image at all. Therefore, in our paper, we study the characteristics of LBP from the following two aspects in NIR image. On one hand, we come to the probability distribution of various patterns of LBP in the NIR facial image. On the other hand, we discuss the influence to LBP caused by the illumination change in facial image.
