Face Recognition by Kernel Independent Component Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abtract. In this paper, we introduce a new feature representation method for face recognition. The proposed method, referred as Kernel ICA, combines the strengths of the Kernel and Independent Component Analysis approaches. For performing Kernel ICA, we employ an algorithm developed by F. R. Bach and M. I. Jordan. This algorithm has proven successful for separating randomly mixed auditory signals, but it has never been applied on bidimensional signals such as images. We compare the performance of Kernel ICA with classical algorithms such as PCA and ICA within the context of appearance-based face recognition problem using the FERET database. Experimental results show that both Kernel ICA and ICA representations are superior to representations based on PCA for recognizing faces across days and changes in expressions.

The proposed method is to recognize objects based on application of Local Steering Kernels (LSK) as Descriptors to the image patches. In order to represent the local properties of the images, patch is to be extracted where the variations occur in an image. To find the interest point, Wavelet based Salient Point detector is used. Local Steering Kernel is then applied to the resultant pixels, in ...
