Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel image indexing and retrieval algorithm using local tetra patterns (LTrPs) for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). The standard local binary pattern (LBP) and local ternary pattern (LTP) encode the relationship between the referenced pixel and its surrounding neighbors by computing gray-level difference. The proposed method encodes the relationship between the referenced pixel and its neighbors, based on the directions that are calculated using the first-order derivatives in vertical and horizontal directions. In addition, we propose a generic strategy to compute nth-order LTrP using (n - 1)th-order horizontal and vertical derivatives for efficient CBIR and analyze the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm by combining it with the Gabor transform. The performance of the proposed method is compared with the LBP, the local derivative patterns, and the LTP based on the results obtained using benchmark image databases viz., Corel 1000 database (DB1), Brodatz texture database (DB2), and MIT VisTex database (DB3). Performance analysis shows that the proposed method improves the retrieval result from 70.34%/44.9% to 75.9%/48.7% in terms of average precision/average recall on database DB1, and from 79.97% to 85.30% and 82.23% to 90.02% in terms of average retrieval rate on databases DB2 and DB3, respectively, as compared with the standard LBP.In this paper, we propose a novel image indexing and retrieval algorithm using local tetra patterns (LTrPs) for content-based image retrieval (CBIR).

I.INTRODUCTION
A.General
Recent years have seen a rapid increase in the size of digital image collections. The image retrieval techniques are
becoming very important part in the multimedia information retrieval, and they are most widely used in applications,
such as in web related applications, agricultural applications, biomedical applications, earth and space sciences etc.
Basically there are two research communities, the first one is text based image retrieval and the other is content based
image retrieval (CBIR). Text based image retrieval gives less complexity method and they are widely used in image
retrieval. But manual annotation is required to assist the text based retrieval process. Due to that, the text based image
retrieval is not preferable in case of images. The feature extraction in CBIR is a prominent step whose effectiveness
depends upon the method adopted for extracting features from given images. The CBIR utilizes visual contents of an
image such as color, texture, shape, faces, spatial layout, etc., to represent and index the image database [1].Feature
(content) extraction is the basis of content-based image retrieval. In this work, we propose a novel image texture feature
extraction algorithm using local tetra patterns (LTrPs) for content-based image retrieval (CBIR).
The proposed method encodes the relationship between the referenced pixel and its neighbours, based on the
directions that are calculated using the first-order derivatives in vertical and horizontal directions. In retrieval process,
every pixel value of query image is compared with every pixel of test image using a distance measure to find some
similar pictures to the query image. Two major approaches including spatial and transform domain based methods can
be identified in CBIR systems. The first approach usually uses pixel or a group of adjacent pixels features like color,
texture, and shape. Other uses different transforms like Gabor transform, Wavelet transform &Daubechieswavelet
coefficients etc.[2][3].
B. Related work:
The LBP, the LDP, and the LTP extract the features based on the distribution of edges, which are coded using
only two directions. The performance of these methods can be improved by differentiating the edges in more than two
directions. This observation has motivated us to propose the four direction code, referred to as local tetra patterns (LTrPs) for CBIR. The versions of the LBP and the LDP in the open literature cannot adequately deal with the range of
appearance variations that commonly occur in unconstrained natural images due to illumination, pose, facial
expression, age, etc. In order to address this problem, the local ternary pattern (LTP) has been introduced for face
recognition under different lighting conditions. The local binary pattern (LBP) feature has emerged as a silver lining in
the field of texture classification and retrieval which are converted to a rotational invariant version for texture
classification. The LBP operator on facial expression analysis and recognition is successfully reported in proposed a
multiscale heat-kernel-based face representation as heat kernels are known to perform well in characterizing the
topological structural information of face appearance. The LBP operator on facial expression analysis and recognition
is successfully reported and proposed a multiscaleheatkernel- based face representation as heat kernels are known to
perform well in characterizing the topological structural information of face appearance. Various techniques for
extraction and representation of image features like histograms local (corresponding to regions or sub-image) or global,
color layouts, edges, boundaries & regions, textures and shapes have been reported in the literature.
II. DIFFERENT PATTERNS USED FOR TEXTURE
The different patterns used to extract texture feature are summarized in following sections.
A .Local Binary Pattern(LBP) :The standard local binarypattern (LBP) encodes the relationshipbetween the
referenced pixel and its surrounding neighborsby calculating gray-level difference.The Local Binary Pattern was
introduced for texture classification. It has at most two bitwise transitions from 0 to 1 or vice versa [4].
B .Local Ternary Pattern(LTP) : Local Ternary Pattern is extended version of LBP. It has three-valued code in
accordance with grey values of its neighbors. In Local Ternary Pattern, gray values in the zone of width (±) t around ݃
are quantized to zero, those above (݃௣ + t) are quantized to +1, and those below are quantized to 1, i.e., indicator is
replaced with three-valued function and the binary code is replaced by a ternary code[5].
C .Local Derivative Pattern(LDP) : The local Derivativepattern (LDP) encodes the pattern features based on local
derivative variations. It gives more detailed information as LBP cannot obtain from image. The ݊
௧௛
order LDP
captures the detailed relationship in local neighborhood. LDP is micro pattern Representation modeled by histogram to
preserve the information [6].
D .Local Tetra Pattern(LTrP) : The LBP, the LDP, and the LTP extract the texture features of an image based on the
distribution of edges, which are coded using only two directions. The possible directions may be positive direction or
negative direction. It is clear that the performance of these methods can be improved by differentiating the edges in
more than two directions. So, The local tetra patterns (LTrPs) are adopted to encode information based on the four
direction.

VII.CONCLUSION
In this paper, we have presented an approach for texture feature for CBIR using LTrPs. The LTrP encodes the
images based on the direction of pixels that are calculated by horizontal and vertical derivatives. The magnitude of the
binary pattern is collected using magnitudes of derivatives. The effectiveness of this method is measured in terms of
average precision and average recall.

Abstract

In medical field, the digital images used for diagnostics and therapy are produced in ever increasing quantities. So there is necessity of feature extraction and classification of medical images for easy and efficient retrieval. In this paper, a framework based on Local Tetra Pattern and Fourier Descriptor for content based image retrieval from medical databases is proposed. The proposed approach formulates the relationship between the reference or centre pixel and its neighbours, considering the vertical and horizontal directions calculated using the first-order derivatives. The texture feature of an image is of prime concern; the images filtered by this feature are more appropriate ones as a response to the query image. In this research work, the association of Euclidean Distance(ED) with local tetra pattern is also explored. The proposed framework is successfully tested on standard Messidor dataset of 1200 Retinal images which are annotated with Retinopathy and Macular Edema grades. A tool SS-SVM is applied on binary patterns for endoscopy, dental, skull and retinal images for classification, which results in better classification of images for various dataset, thus improving classifiers.
