T he first one is cascade LBP method. In this method, we apply wavelet to decompose images into four kinds of frequency images. Then we extract LBP features with thelocal to holistic way to make features more representative. And, the adaptive weight mechanism is adopted to show the different importance of feature data. The second one is the boosting LBP method, in which theface area is scanned with scalable small windows from which LBP histograms are obtained to effectively express the local feature of a face image. T he Chi square distance between corresponding LBP histograms of sample image and template is used to construct weak classifiers pool. Adaboost al- gorithm is applied to build the final strong classifier by selecting and combining the most useful weak classifiers. In addition, several experiments are made for classifying gender based on local binary pat-
