 Local Binary Pattern for texture classification

+In this example, we will see how to classify textures based on LBP (Local
+Binary Pattern). The histogram of the LBP result is a good measure to classify
 textures. For simplicity the histogram distributions are then tested against
 each other using the Kullback-Leibler-Divergence.
