MCT (Modified Census Transform) is a local feature descriptor that turns the brightness of the 3×3 region around each pixel into a binary pattern by comparing it with the mean of that region. It improves on the Census Transform, which compares against the center pixel, and is robust to illumination changes. It is used for purposes similar to LBP in object detection such as face detection.
