Image Feature Detection with LBP Operator?

edit: Had to edit the subject title, something got messed up...

I want to do image feature detection (and object detection) based on LBP feature recognition, so I basically want to binarize images based on some threshold, and then do LBP to recognize so called "visual words", which are then put together in a characteristic histogram that can be processed / classified by a SVM for object detection.

Is there any tutorial on this, or some example from where to start from?
