Local ternary patterns

Local ternary patterns (LTP) are an extension of local binary patterns (LBP).

Neighboring pixels are combined after thresholding into a ternary pattern.

Computing a histogram of these ternary values will result in a large range, so the ternary pattern is split into two binary patterns.

Histograms are concatenated to generate a descriptor double the size of LBP.
