Combining Gabor features: summing vs. voting in human face recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gabor wavelet-based feature extraction has been emerging as one of the most promising ways to represent human face image data. In this paper, we examine the performance of two types of classifiers that can be used with Gabor features. In the first classifier, the distance between two images is computed by summing the local distances among all the nodes. In the second classifier, a voting strategy is used. In addition, we examine two types of shift optimization procedures. The first is the standard elastic graph matching algorithm, and the second is a constrained version of the algorithm. Experimental results indicate that the voting-based classifier with constrained elastic graph matching gives improved results.

تشخیص چهره با استفاده از PCA و فیلتر گابور
Methods for face recognition which are based on face structure are among techniques without supervision and produce unfavorable results in the presence of linear changes in images. PCA is a linear transform and a powerful tool for data analysis but does not produce good results for face recognition when there are non-linear changes resulting from changes in position, intensity and gesture in th...
متن کاملCombining Geometric and Gabor Features for Face Recognition
In automated face recognition, a human face can be described by several features, but very few of them are used in combination to improve discrimination ability. This paper demonstrates how different feature sets can be used to enhance discrimination for the purpose of face recognition. We have used geometrical features and Gabor features in combination for face recognition. The geometrical fea...

Many researches have demonstrated that the spatial information can play an important role in the classification of hyperspectral imagery. This study proposes a modified spectral–spatial classification approach for improving the spectral–spatial classification of hyperspectral images. In the proposed method ten spatial/texture features, using mean, standard deviation, contrast, homogeneity, corr...
متن کاملNovel Face Detection Method Based on Gabor Features
Gabor-based Face representation has achieved great success in face recognition, while whether and how it can be applied to face detection is rarely studied. This paper originally investigates the Gabor feature based face detection method, and proposes a coarse-to-fine hierarchical face detector combining the high efficiency of Harr features and the excellent discriminating power of the Gabor fe...
