Multi-band Gradient Component Pattern (MGCP): A New Statistical Feature for Face Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
A feature extraction method using multi-frequency bands is proposed for face recognition, named as the Multi-band Gradient Component Pattern (MGCP). The MGCP captures discriminative information from Gabor filter responses in virtue of an orthogonal gradient component analysis method, which is especially designed to encode energy variations of Gabor magnitude. Different from some well-known Gabor-based feature extraction methods, MGCP extracts geometry features from Gabor magnitudes in the orthogonal gradient space in a novel way. It is shown that such features encapsulate more discriminative information. The proposed method is evaluated by performing face recognition experiments on the FERET and FRGC ver 2.0 databases and compared with several state-of-the-art approaches. Experimental results demonstrate that MGCP achieves the highest recognition rate among all the compared methods, including some well-known Gabor-based methods.

متن کاملIterative Weighted Non-smooth Non-negative Matrix Factorization for Face Recognition
Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) is a part-based image representation method. It comes from the intuitive idea that entire face image can be constructed by combining several parts. In this paper, we propose a framework for face recognition by finding localized, part-based representations, denoted “Iterative weighted non-smooth non-negative matrix factorization” (IWNS-NMF). A new cost fun...
متن کاملFeature extraction for classification problems and its application to face recognition
This study investigates a new method of feature extraction for classification problems. The method is based on the independent component analysis (ICA). However, unlike the original ICA, one of the unsupervised learning methods, it is developed for classification problems by utilizing class information. The proposed method is an extension of our previous work on binary-class problems to multi-c...
