转载：LBP代码详细注释

%LBP returns the local binary pattern image or LBP histogram of an image.
% J = LBP(I,R,N,MAPPING,MODE) returns either a local binary pattern
% coded image or the local binary pattern histogram of an intensity
% image I. The LBP codes are computed using N sampling points on a
% circle of radius R and using mapping table defined by MAPPING.
% See the getmapping function for different mappings and use 0 for
% no mapping. Possible values for MODE are
% 'h' or 'hist' to get a histogram of LBP codes
% 'nh' to get a normalized histogram
% Otherwise an LBP code image is returned.
%
% J = LBP(I) returns the original (basic) LBP histogram of image I
%
% J = LBP(I,SP,MAPPING,MODE) computes the LBP codes using n sampling
% points defined in (n * 2) matrix SP. The sampling points should be
% defined around the origin (coordinates (0,0)).
%
% Examples
% --------
% I=imread('test1.bmp');
% mapping=getmapping(8,'u2');
% H1=lbp(I,1,8,mapping,'h'); %LBP histogram in (8,1) neighborhood
% %using uniform patterns
% subplot(2,1,1),stem(H1);
%
% H2=lbp(I);
% subplot(2,1,2),stem(H2);
%
% SP=[-1 -1; -1 0; -1 1; 0 -1; -0 1; 1 -1; 1 0; 1 1];
% I2=lbp(I,SP,0,'i'); %LBP code image using sampling points in SP
% %and no mapping. Now H2 is equal to histogram
% %of I2.

function result = lbp(varargin) % image,radius,neighbors,mapping,mode)

% Changelog
% Version 0.3.2: A bug fix to enable using mappings together with a
% predefined spoints array
% Version 0.3.1: Changed MAPPING input to be a struct containing the mapping
% table and the number of bins to make the function run faster with high number
% of sampling points. Lauge Sorensen is acknowledged for spotting this problem.

生成mapping的函数

%GETMAPPING returns a structure containing a mapping table for LBP codes.
% MAPPING = GETMAPPING(SAMPLES,MAPPINGTYPE) returns a
% structure containing a mapping table for
% LBP codes in a neighbourhood of SAMPLES sampling
% points. Possible values for MAPPINGTYPE are
% 'u2' for uniform LBP
% 'ri' for rotation-invariant LBP
% 'riu2' for uniform rotation-invariant LBP.
%
% Example:
% I=imread('rice.tif');
% MAPPING=getmapping(16,'riu2');
% LBPHIST=lbp(I,2,16,MAPPING,'hist');
% Now LBPHIST contains a rotation-invariant uniform LBP
% histogram in a (16,2) neighbourhood.
