Local Contrast Descriptor

Texture Classification on UIUC dataset

Local Contrast Descriptor (LCD): This is a sample code of the paper that we proposed in [1]. The paper proposes local contrast evaluated pixel wise and uses it in a dense fashion for classification and recognition. The code at present uses LCD for texture classification in UIUC dataset. You can use it to compare with other descriptors including SIFT, LBP etc.
Please cite the following paper if you're using the code.
