First, sorry to send the same text to your two emails. I don't know what's the right address.
After reading the reference paper and the discussion of the parameters of the mahotas.lbp(), I still have questions. What does the radius stand for? I can't understand it.
If I want to try the standard lbp, how should I set the radius and the point? radius=1 and points = 8, is that right? and the 16 pixel neighborhood,
should I set the radius=2 and points=16?
Is the lbp in the reference paper better than the original lbp? And, I am trying to use lbp to make image search, what's the parameters do you suggest?
