Testing Principal Component Representations for Faces
نویسندگان
چکیده
A variety of experimental results indicate that the human visual system processes faces at least to some extent holistically, rather than by analysing individual features such as nose and eyes. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) of face images, which is widely used in engineering approaches to face identi cation, produces an inherently global representation. We investigate the psychological plausibility of this representation, looking at correlations with human perceptions of memorability and similarity. We show that transformation of faces to an average shape prior to PCA improves correlations with human ratings

View-Subspace Analysis of Multi-View Face Patterns
Multi-view face detection and recognition has been a challenging problem. The challenge is due to the fact that the distribution of multi-view faces in a feature space is more dispersed and more complicated than that of frontal faces. This paper presents an investigation into several view-subspace representations of multi-view faces, learned by using independent component analysis (ICA), indepe...
متن کاملoint invariant face recognition using endent component analysis and at tractor networks
We have explored two approaches to recognizing faces across changes in pose. First, we developed a representation of face images based on independent component analysis (ICA) and compared it to a principal component analysis (PCA) representation for face recognition. The ICA basis vectors for this data set were more spatially local than the PCA basis vectors and the ICA representation had great...
متن کاملLocal feature analysis: a general statistical theory for object representation
Low-dimensional representations of sensory signals are key to solving many of the computational problems encountered in high-level vision. Principal component analysis (PCA) has been used in the past to derive practically useful compact representations for different classes of objects. One major objection to the applicability of PCA is that it invariably leads to global, non-topographic represe...
متن کاملRepresentations of human faces
Several models for parameterized face representations have been proposed in the last years. A simple coding scheme treats the image of a face as a long vector with each entry coding for the intensity of one single pixel in the image (e.g. Sirovich & Kirby 1987). Although simple and straightforward, such pixel-based representations have several disadvantages. We propose a representation for imag...
متن کاملFace Modeling by Information Maximization
A number of current face recognition algorithms use face representations found by unsupervised statistical methods. Typically these methods find a set of basis images and represent faces as a linear combination of those images. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a popular example of such methods. The basis images found by PCA depend only on pair-wise relationships between pixels in the image...
