LBP is a successful hand-crafted feature descriptor in computer vision. However, in the deep learning era, deep neural networks, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can automatically learn powerful task-aware features that are more discriminative and of higher representational capacity. To some extent, such hand-crafted features can be safely ignored when designing deep computer vision models. Nevertheless, due to LBP's preferable properties in visual representation learning, an interesting topic has arisen to explore the value of LBP in enhancing modern deep models in terms of efficiency, memory consumption, and predictive performance. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review on such efforts which aims to incorporate the LBP mechanism into the design of CNN modules to make deep models stronger. In retrospect of what has been achieved so far, the paper discusses open challenges and directions for future research., Comment: A small survey paper on Local Binary Pattern (LBP) inspired Deep Learning networks, accepted in SCIA 2023 (Scandinavian Conference on Image Analysis)
