This work presents a novel image appearance description method based on the highly popular local binary pattern (LBP) texture features. The key idea consists of introducing a dense sampling encoding strategy for extracting more stable and discriminative texture patterns in local regions. Compared to the conventional

sampling scheme commonly used in basic LBP, our proposed dense sampling aims to generate, through a form of up-sampling, more neighboring pixels so that more stable LBP codes, carrying out richer information, are computed. This yields in significantly enhanced image description which is less prone to noise and to sparse and unstable histograms. Another interesting property of the dense sampling scheme is that it can be easily integrated with many existing LBP variants. Extensive experiments on three different classification problems namely face recognition, texture classification and age group estimation on various challenging benchmark databases clearly demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme, showing very promising results compared not only to original LBP but also to state-of-the-art especially in the very demanding task of human age estimation.
