Multi-resolution Histograms of Local Variation Patterns (MHLVP) for Robust Face Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel approach to face recognition, named Multi-resolution Histograms of Local Variation Patterns (MHLVP), in which face images are represented as the concatenation of the local spatial histogram of local variation patterns computed from the multi-resolution Gabor features. For a face image with abundant texture and shape information, a Gabor feature map(GFM) is computed by convolving the image with each of the forty multiscale and multi-orientation Gabor filters. Each GFM is then divided into small non-overlapping regions to enhance its shape information, and then Local Binary Pattern (LBP) histograms are extracted for each region and concatenated into a feature histogram to enhance the texture information in the specific GFM. Further more, all of the feature histograms extracted from the forty GFMs are further concatenated into a single feature histogram as the final representation of the given face image. Eventually, the identification is achieved by histogram intersection operation. Our experimental results on FERET face databases show that the proposed method performs terrifically better than the performance of some classical results including the best results in FERET97.

Human face recognition has been a long standing problem in computer vision and pattern recognition. Facial analysis can be viewed as a two-fold problem, namely (i) facial representation, and (ii) classification. So far, many face representations have been proposed, a well-known method is the Local Binary Pattern (LBP), which has witnessed a growing interest. In this respect, we treat in this pa...
