1. A method to identify a degree of similarity between image frames, comprising: identifying channel types associated with image frames; splitting respective ones of the image frames into respective color channels based on the identified channel types; applying a local binary pattern to pixel neighborhoods of the respective color channels to generate respective pattern numbers; generating spatial representations of respective ones of the pattern numbers to determine transition probabilities for the channel types when transitioning between the pixel neighborhoods; and recombining the color channels to identify a degree of similarity between the image frames based on the transition probabilities.
