I have a question regarding local binary pattern and principal component analysis. I understand both the methods separately but I do not know how to combine them.
The Matlab output for LBP features can be a vector back to 1-by- N feature vector as shown in the link: http://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/ref/extractlbpfeatures.html
If I generate LBP features vectors of images (50, for example), how can I perform the PCA? Is this a valid approach to use?
Thanks

Assuming you have M
images (say, 50), and N
features for each image, you could see that as M
points in N
dimensions. You could use PCA to reduce your dataset to N-r
dimensions, where r
is the number of dimensions to be removed.
