Abstract

A rapid growth in medical ultrasound database makes it difficult for medical practitioners to manage and search relevant data with good efficiency. Hence, a novel image retrieval technique using Mean Distance Local Binary Pattern (Mean Distance LBP) has been proposed for content-based image retrieval. The conventional local binary pattern (LBP) converts every pixel of image into a binary pattern based on their relationship with neighbourhood pixels. The proposed feature descriptor differs from local binary pattern as it transforms the mutual relationship of all neighbouring pixels in a binary pattern based on their standard deviation templates as well as Euclidean distance from the center pixel. Color feature and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix have also been used in this work. To prove the excellence of the proposed method, experiments have been conducted on two different databases of natural images and face images. Further, the method is applied on real time ultrasound database for retrieval of liver images from a set of ultrasound images of various organs. The performance has been observed using well-known evaluation measures, precision and recall, and compared with some state-of-art local patterns. Comparison shows a significant improvement in the proposed method over existing methods.
