Applying LBP on the image

The maximum value in the LBP array = 2^8 =265 so I apply uint8 on the LBP operation on the image, then I apply the histogram imhist(uint8(localBinaryPatternImage)) for extract features from LBP array

If the maximum value in LBP array = 2^16 =65536 , I use uint8 but I cannot apply the histogram imhist(uint16(localBinaryPatternImage)) on the resulted array of LBP for extract the features from LBP array
