Abstract

A new method to pattern recognition of gas-liquid two-phase flow regimes based on improved local binary pattern (LBP) operator is proposed in this paper. Five statistic features are computed using the texture pattern matrix obtained from the improved LBP. The support vector machine and back-propagation neural network are trained to flow pattern recognition of five typical gas-liquid flow regimes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method has achieved better recognition accuracy rates than others. It can provide reliable reference for other indirect measurement used to analyze flow patterns by its physical objectivity.
