چکیده

Complex approximately analytic wavelets provide a local multiscale description of images with good directional selectivity and invariance to shifts and in-plane rotations. Similar to Gabor wavelets, they are insensitive to illumination variations and facial expression changes. The complex wavelet transform is, however, less redundant and computationally efficient. In this paper, we first construct complex approximately analytic wavelets in the single-tree context, which possess Gabor-like characteristics. We, then, investigate the recently developed dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) and the single-tree complex wavelet transform (ST-CWT) for the face recognition problem. Extensive experiments are carried out on standard databases. The resulting complex wavelet-based feature vectors are as discriminating as the Gabor wavelet-derived features and at the same time are of lower dimension when compared with that of Gabor wavelets. In all experiments, on two well-known databases, namely, FERET and ORL databases, complex wavelets equaled or surpassed the performance of Gabor wavelets in recognition rate when equal number of orientations and scales is used. These findings indicate that complex wavelets can provide a successful alternative to Gabor wavelets for face recognition.

Face Recognition Using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform

We propose a novel face recognition using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT), which is used to extract features from face images. The Complex Wavelet Transform is a tool that uses a dual tree of wavelet filters to find the real and imaginary parts of complex wavelet coefficients. The DT-CWT is, however, less redundant and computationally efficient. CWT is a relatively recent enhancemen...

Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform based Face Recognition with Single View

In this paper, we propose a novel local appearance feature extraction method based on multi-resolution Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT). Each face is described by a subset of band filtered images containing block-based DT-CWT coefficients. These coefficients characterize the face texture. The block based mean and variance of complex wavelet coefficients are used to describe the face...
