Our purpose is to extend the Local Binary Pattern method to three dimensions and compare it with the two-dimensional model for three-dimensional texture analysis. To compare these two methods, we made classification experiments using three databases of three-dimensional texture images having different properties. The first database is a set of three-dimensional images without any distorsion or transformation, the second contains additional gaussian noise. The last one contains similar textures as the first one but with random rotations according x, y and z axis. For each of these databases, the three-dimensional Local Binary Pattern method outperforms the two-dimensional approach which has more difficulties to provide correct classifications.
