Noise Tolerant Histogram Voting for Gender Classification Based on LBP

In this paper, we present a noise tolerant descriptor based on a local binary pattern (LBP) method. Due to threshold-based operations, these types of LBP methods are sensitive to noise factors. The use of a robust LBP (RLBP) reduced some noise effects. However, it may lead to a loss of subtle local texture information. Instead of concatenating the LBP and RLBP features, we produced a histogram as…
