this problem by encoding the small pixel difference into a third state. The small pixel
difference may be easily overwhelmed by noise. Thus, it is difficult to precisely determine its
sign and magnitude. In this paper, we propose the concept of uncertain state to encode the
small pixel difference. We do not care its sign and magnitude, and encode it as both 0 and 1
with equal probability. The proposed Relaxed LTP is tested on the CMU-PIE database, the …
