A Hierarchical Face Recognition Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
Face recognition, a biometric method of identifying individuals using facial features, has attracted increasing interest and research over the last decade. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical scheme for face recognition. The proposed scheme consists of chin outline classification and holistic facial feature identification. Chin-shape information is characterized by chin curvature, the length of the face, and the ratio of face width to face length, all of which are scale-independent. After the holistic facial features were extracted based on Gabor faces, two-dimensional principal component analysis was used to condense the features. A series of experiments was conducted to assess system performance. The results confirm that our system can accurately recognize faces by the hierarchical integration of the feature-based information and the holistic one.

Hierarchical Direct Appearance Model for Elastic Labeled Graph Localization
In this paper a new algorithm to locate the Elastic Labeled Graph is proposed for the face recognition approach based on Gabor wavelet jets. We extend Direct Appearance Model (DAM) to a hierarchical organization, which performs faster and more robust compared with the traditional graph localization method used in Elastic Bunch Graph Matching. A tracking and recognition scheme is further discuss...
