I am training a classifier based on Local Binary Patterns and leaving Haar methods aside for the time being, simply because they are slower and older, particularly the methods and their implementation in OpenCV. In vain I tried finding out if there are any large database of car images in an open lab; in particular, I needed a photographic database containing images with annotation marking the back of cars (a rectangular selection around all the cars in the images), just for the purpose of training a Local Binary Patterns classifier. The next section will explain what I ended up using.
