Convert captured faces into local binary patterns #1

Closed xu-chris closed 6 years ago

xu-chris commented 6 years ago

As a user I want to capture faces as local binary patters to get illuminance invariant training sets for better and more stable results throughout different webcams and settings.

In my opinion it is not necessary to obtain binary images and train the network afterward with. As far as i know, convolutional neural networks such as VGG take over the part of feature extractions. Especially, since the VGG16 net is used to fine tune our classifier, I suspect that using binary images would increase the accuracy. In addition, binary images does not provide rgb spectrums - so color based recognition will be maybe disabled.

That's true. Even LBP algorithms are calculating further the histograms than the binarized image. We can close this. Thanks for contribution!
