Abstract

While features used for texture analysis have been successfully used in some biometric applications, only quite few works have considered them in facial image analysis. Texture-based region descriptors can be very useful in recognizing faces and facial expressions, detecting faces and different facial components, and in other face related tasks. This paper demonstrates this issue by considering the local binary pattern (LBP) as an example of texture-based approach and showing its efficiency in facial image analysis.
