title: python lbp image classification
body: <p>I am working on a personal project: gender classification (male | female) in python. I'm beginner in this domain</p>
  
  <p>I computed histograms for every image in training data.
  Now, to test if a test image is male or female is possible to make an average histogram for male | female and compare test histograms? Or I must compare all histograms with test histogram? </p>
  
  <p>If there is possible to make an average. How should I do it?
  Also, is ok to use SVM for classification?</p>
  
  <p>PS. I am looking for free faces databases. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
