research would be in place.
One important feature of our framework is that the LBP class can be changed by
an other technique. This may be a different algorithm than LBP. Also the
classifier can be changed in an other classifier. By applying these kind of
changes we can find the best way to recognize licence plates.
The expectation is that using a larger diameter pattern, but with the same
amount of points is worth trying. The theory behind that is that when using a
gaussian blur to reduce noise, the edges are blurred as well. By

A possibility to improve the performance speedwise would be to separate the
creation of the Gaussian kernel and the convolution. This way, the kernel can
be cached, which is a big improvement. At this moment, we calculate this kernel

Another performance loss was introduced by checking for each pixel if it is
in the image. This induces a lot of function calls and four conditional checks
per pixel. A faster method would be to first set a border of black pixels
around the image, so the inImage function is now done implicitly because it
simply finds a black pixel if it falls outside the original image borders.
