Person identification using novel local triangular binary pattern-based texture descriptor by Arti Tekade, T. Vijayan, B. Karthik, Anurag Mahajan

“…This paper presents the novel local triangular binary pattern based texture descriptor to provide a local texture description of the hand radiographic images. The performance of the proposed descriptor is assessed using different machine learning classifiers such as K-nearest neighbor (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), radial basis function-SVM (RBF-SVM), classification tree (CT), and random forest (RF) for authentication of the 20 users based on hand radiographs. …”
