===========================================================
Multi-Block Local Binary Pattern for texture classification
===========================================================
This example shows how to compute multi-block local binary pattern (MB-LBP)
features as well as how to visualize them.
The features are calculated similarly to local binary patterns (LBPs), except
that summed blocks are used instead of individual pixel values.
MB-LBP is an extension of LBP that can be computed on multiple scales in
constant time using the integral image. 9 equally-sized rectangles are used to
compute a feature. For each rectangle, the sum of the pixel intensities is
computed. Comparisons of these sums to that of the central rectangle determine
the feature, similarly to LBP (See `LBP <plot_local_binary_pattern.html>`_).
First, we generate an image to illustrate the functioning of MB-LBP: consider
a (9, 9) rectangle and divide it into (3, 3) block, upon which we then apply
MB-LBP.

On the above plot we see the result of computing a MB-LBP and visualization of
the computed feature. The rectangles that have less intensities' sum than the
central rectangle are marked in cyan. The ones that have higher intensity
values are marked in white. The central rectangle is left untouched.
