Face Recognition Based on Edge Detection Algorithm Using Matlab

The automatic recognition of human faces presents a significant challenge to the pattern recognition research community; human faces are very similar in structure with minor differences from person to person. They are actually within one class of “human face”. Furthermore, lighting condition changes, facial expressions, and pose variations further complicate the face recognition task as one of the difficult problems in pattern analysis. This paper proposed a novel concept, “faces can be recognized using line edge detection”. A face pre filtering technique is proposed to speed up the searching process. It is a very encouraging finding that the proposed face recognition technique has performed superior to the most of the existing comparison experiments.
