This letter presents a simple scheme to transform colors to some representative classes for color information reduction. Then, the weighted distributions of color index histogram (CIH) and local binary pattern (LBP) are applied to measure the similarity of adjacent texture regions during the segmentation process. In addition, for improving the segmentation accuracy, an efficient boundary checking algorithm is proposed. The proposed method not only saves execution time but also segments the distinct texture regions correctly.
Key Words: color index histogram (CIH), local binary pattern (LBP), boundary checking
